Sam Burns

Freelance Photographer living in Chattanooga, TN. My passion for photography was discovered early in high school, shooting everything that I found of interest, later becoming the photographer for the school newspaper. After graduating high school, I attended Randolph Technical Institute receiving an AS degree in Photography. Through the years, my work has taken me everywhere from commercial studios to news coverage. Each of these positions provided me with knowledge of the art world, the media and public relations. The positions required excellent communication and social skills, as well as an eye for detail.
In 2007, I began my event photography business, specializing in travel, on location portraiture, fashion and glamor. I have a passion for both traveling and music. I photograph both local musicians and internationally recognized musicians. I believe music, travel and visual communication is a powerful healing entity.
With my diverse experience in the past 40+ years I have created a unique style that combines creative in portraiture. Finding just the right pose, light and setting is my passion.
I provide quality timeless proofs, with storybook albums and customized packages to fit your budget. A strong rapport with my customers and an unobtrusive manner is my primary goal. As a photographer I am dedicated, flexible, and a proactive thinker willing to take on any assignment. Living in an extremely visual culture where the media plays a critical role in our daily lives, it’s imperative that photographers communicate effectively.
