Me with Lexus LFA chassis #270

Photography by Daniel Hatchett

Hello, I’m Sam, a highly passionate and accomplished freelance photographer with ten years of self-taught experience in the field including two years of college-taught photography courses at Madison College. My passion, dedication, and diverse experiences in the industry demonstrate that I am a well-rounded individual. I’m continuously looking to advance my professional career and skill set in the photography field.

Born and raised in South Central Wisconsin, my passion for photography began in 2013. From an early age I’ve had an eye for detail and a love for the arts, it was the perfect hobby. What started from documenting the Midwest automotive and aviation scene with what I had readily available to making a future career out of it.

My love for photography, the automotive industry, and aviation has allowed me to accomplish remarkable projects, work with incredible people, and travel to phenomenal locations.

As I continue to pursue my passion within the automotive industry, I've relocted to beautiful West Michigan to take on the role as a full-time Automotive Content Creator for The Speed Collection. An independent exotic and specialty car dealership based out of the Holland and Saugatuck area.

Outside of photography I enjoy annually attending EAA Airventure in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, networking with like-minded automotive enthusiasts at local cars and coffee gatherings, attending numerous events at Road America over the summer months, and traveling to the likes of Monterey, California annually for Monterey Car Week in August.
