Sam Hofman is a photographer working across still life, social media, and film mediums. His clients include Elemis, Molton Brown, Guinness, Glenlivet, Pantene, and many others. He was drawn to design and imagery as a young boy growing up in the sleepy Cotswolds region of the UK. He found inspiration around him, from his village’s yearly pantomime performance to his mother’s camera. He got his professional start in 2008 after graduating from university in London, starting as an assistant photographer. Through his experiences as a junior, he realized his true calling was still life, which continues to be his specialty. However, as the industry evolved and moving images became ever more important, it became an integral part of his practice as well.
