about
LIZ SAMPLE
​
I am an artist whose work includes thirty five years of portrait and art photography. Having been a commercial artist for many years I’ve done a bit of everything: illustration, animation, prop building, modeling for artists, costume design and writing -- but photography is my first love, including work as a motion picture still photographer.
​
Making a photograph is an emotional experience. Creating a portrait is the deepest collaborative bond that a photographer and a subject can share. The goal is to show my subjects a timeless and transcendent side of themselves. Using a vintage Rolleiflex camera with medium-format negatives, all prints are created in the darkroom. Although most work is in black and white, I also enjoy the challenge of color photography.
​
I am a member of The Spencertown Academy Arts Center in Spencertown, New York. I am available for portrait work within a one hundred mile radius of Columbia County, New York.
Thanks to The Snap Shop in Great Barrington, MA for their outstanding scans of my work.
