# Sam Faulkner Photography

Sam Faulkner is a London-based photographer and director specialising in high-end commercial work, fashion films and documentary reportage. He serves luxury beauty brands, fashion houses and editorial publications requiring sophisticated visual storytelling across multiple mediums.

His commercial work encompasses beauty television commercials for globally recognised brands including Dove, Olay, Revlon and Kérastase, where he directs intimate, aspirational content featuring supermodels and international talent. In fashion, he has directed films for Marc Jacobs, Adidas x Stella McCartney and Vogue Italia, demonstrating expertise in translating brand aesthetics into compelling moving image.

What distinguishes Sam is his dual mastery of controlled commercial production and unflinching documentary work. Whilst directing polished TVCs with substantial production values, he simultaneously pursues challenging reportage projects—his "Cocaine Wars" series, Afghanistan documentation and "Unseen Waterloo" portrait project showcase a photographer unafraid of complex, narrative-driven subjects. This range attracts clients seeking someone equally comfortable in controlled studio environments and unpredictable field conditions.

His portraiture extends to specialist sectors, including a striking MMA fighter series demonstrating his ability to capture personality and intensity across diverse subjects. Based in London EC2A, he brings art direction sensibility to every project, whether shooting 30-40 second beauty spots or intimate environmental portraits.
