Athletes are some of the most exciting, hard-working and inspiring people in the world. My aim is to capture this.

Sam Todd Photographer  - Sam Todd - University College Dublin

I’m a photographer and director based on the South Coast, working across London and beyond, specialising in sport and lifestyle.

I love photographing people doing what they actually do. The moments between the moments. The effort, the atmosphere and the details that make an image feel genuine rather than staged.

Over the last few years I’ve worked with global brands, sports teams and athletes, creating both stills and motion for campaigns, partnerships and editorial projects. Whether I’m working with Formula 1 team, in a gym, or on a football pitch my approach stays the same. Keep it honest, work with what’s there and create images that people can believe in.

 

Sport has always been a huge part of my life. It’s why I do what I do. It has a way of bringing people together, creating emotion and telling stories without needing to say much at all. That’s what I’m always looking to capture.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll probably find me on a golf course, at CrossFit pretending I enjoy burpees, or attempting to keep a 1970s motorbike on the road.

If you’ve got a project you’d like to chat about, I’d love to hear from you.

My Approach

I work across both photography and motion, with a focus on movement, performance and people.

My process is built around understanding the brief, then creating an environment where natural moments can unfold. I’ll often set the framework for a shot, but leave space for instinct, movement and interaction to take over. That’s where the strongest images tend to come from.

Lighting plays a big part in how I shape an image. I’m drawn to natural light and the feel it brings, but I’m just as focused on being able to recreate that when needed. Whether it’s daylight, mixed light or a full setup, the aim is always the same, to keep it feeling real and unforced.

I work with a trusted group of assistants, stylists, producers and crew, scaling each project depending on what it needs while keeping things consistent across both stills and motion.

Representation

I’m currently unrepresented in the UK and not looking to change that.

For projects requiring larger teams and full production support, I collaborate with a trusted network of experienced producers to ensure everything runs seamlessly from start to finish.

I am open to representation in the USA and Asia, where the right partnership could help build and scale long-term opportunities.
