About Me

🎈Sam So - to play is to create!🎈

🌄 MY ADVENTURE

I was born and raised in Hong Kong for 12 years, then moved to Michigan for high school. I graduated from the University of Michigan with a Mechanical Engineering degree. I picked up my first camera in high school yearbook class and actually started my photography journey in journalism and sports photography. Through journalism, I discovered the artistic side of capturing the bold and beautiful expressions of human in portrait photography, and fell in love with storytelling through my camera.

🥳 MY HATS

I wear many hats and I love wearing many party hats!

By day, I am a product manager in tech. The other times, I take photos, make zines, design, write op-eds pieces for news outlets, go hiking, thrift & resell clothes, and make obscurely-themed Spotify playlists. Recently, I’m dabbling into taking on a producer position for an upcoming short film!

✌🏻 MY ART

As a person of color, I strive to do meaningful work that empowers communities of color, whether that is telling the important stories through zine or taking photos that truly captures people of color in our beautiful bodies and expressions. I believe that my art lies in the intersection of fashion,  photography, design, and storytelling that strives for an emotional yet a beautiful display of the world. I’m looking forward to our next journey in this immersive experience!
