My Photo & Video Services


What makes photography a strange invention is that its primary raw materials are time and light.

— John Berger

Hi, I'm Sam Mackenzie Armstrong

Photographer

With over fifteen years under my belt in the world of photography, my specialty lies in crafting authentic headshots and intricate portraits that resonate with the viewer.

Every face tells a unique story, and I'm passionate about capturing that essence, ensuring each shot is both genuine and compelling.

From corporate profiles to artists seeking to showcase their persona, my commitment is to produce images that not only capture attention but also encapsulate the true spirit of the person or a situation.

My photo session approach

Satisfaction Guarantee


With over 15 years of satisfied clients, I am happy to offer a satisfaction guarantee on all my photography sessions. If you're not happy with the photos, I'll be happy to reshoot.

Highly Flexible approach


To ensure a smooth photographic experience, I adapt to your specific scheduling needs, including Saturday and late afternoon slots. Each session is tailored to best represent your vision and purpose.

Straightforward pricing, licensing


I use a straightforward, time-based pricing model with no release, collaboration, clothing or set change fees. And for corporate use, I don't fiddle with licensing: the images are released to you, they are yours.

Testimonials

Gillian McKay

Can't say enough good things about my headshot shoot with Sam. He was highly professional, flexible with my shoot date and had a wonderful approach that made me feel comfortable and relaxed the whole time! My husband and I went together so that we could each get some shots done, and we left delighted with the results. The 90minute package is perfect, as it gives you time to get just the right shots with a few different outfits/backgrounds, without feeling rushed. Highly recommended!

Aro Korol
