Had my first shoot with Sam yesterday in response to her recent casting. Pre-shoot comms were direct and hassle-free - no email tennis for weeks/months with pauses (shoot arranged in 2 days). Last minute unexpectee events meant an indoor shoot was changed to outdoors, which Sam offered to postpone, but as it was a blue sky day, I felt it was an opportunity not to miss.
Sam is a very down to earth person to work with, no awkward conversation silences and far more experienced than her basic portfolio might suggest. She will give feedback on ideas, knows her limits and worked well with or without direction, even with us both working outdoors on a cold February afternoon.
A more experienced or clued-in photographer than I will no doubt have an amazing shoot with Sam and from conversations, she is happy to travel beyond the Welsh border to work. 100% recommended
