Both a photographer and a traveler, Samantha Nandez has a passion for cultures that compels her to explore new places and meet new people. Samantha's need to create images came initially as a hobby after she left her home in El Paso, Texas to study Film, Graphic Design, and Classics at the University of Alabama. That hobby quickly developed into a relationship that could be most accurately described as an obsession. Samantha finds little more satisfying than when she is bringing ideas to life with her camera. Her need to create drives her to constantly explore new ideas, new techniques, and new styles as she continues on her creative journey, which she hopes will one day lead her around the world.
