About Samuel McElwee

Sam McElwee is an award winning photographer who grew up in rural Australia & now living in London.

Whether he is on stage taking Lionel Ritchie's portrait or spending the day with the awe-inspiring Erica from Surbiton,  he uncovers the characters of all the people who sit for him, whilst making them feel quickly at ease.

No matter if he is up to his chest in the freezing Icelandic ocean with a -18 degree wind chill or battling blistering heat, Sam will always find the humour in any situation, a characteristic you can see through much of his work. 

He always has a personal project on the go, but there’s nothing he loves more than collaborating with creative colleagues.
