Sam Dameshek breathes life into a somewhat saturated world of photography. He knows how to transcend in the creativity realm when dealing with clients and personal tactics. Simple examples include his choice of camera to the way he positions his models to compliment them all too well. Often photographers rush the process; however, Dameshek is known for his attention to detail and his success says enough.
Before you add him to your on-going list of photographers, stop for a moment, and read. He did start from ground zero like everyone else in the industry, but he took the baby steps and ran ten feet farther than others, younger and older.
His work features the talented Shawn Mendes, Halsey, Kim Kardashian, Madison Beer, Sabrina Carpenter, and the list reads on. Names with the reputations like the celebrities Dameshek shoots for are known in about every household, and that is how the photographer’s name should live.
Dedication to the art of capturing moments led him to gain great insight about the field itself. His own workshop explores just how to establish yourself as a desirable photographer, create a portfolio, and bond in your professional relationships.
Just yesterday, December 21, the young entrepreneur launched a collection campaign for “Wish Me Luck”, his merchandise company aside from photography. Christmas Eve will be the availability date for customers to purchase their own item from the “America The Beautiful” selection. His mind does not stop; you can see just how evenly he spreads himself into different outlets. In light of his consistent work, the successful creator makes it known to fans all across the globe that if he can do it, so can they.
He tweeted:
Just because you have the best ingredients, doesn’t mean you’ll make the best pasta.
Good equipment doesn’t guarantee good results.
Bad equipment doesn’t guarantee bad results.
It’s all in how you use what you have. Good equates good if you take the time to learn. GN.”
Out of any of your competition, you cannot fall short with Dameshek’s guidance. He quite frankly knows it all. If you miss his informational sessions embedded in his services, he also provides an entire Instagram to admire and gather inspiration from and a store that markets his personal book along with merchandise.
The Los Angeles native, and now a special guest resident for New York City, talks heavily about the importance of earning your milestones. There is more than the simple click of a camera button and holding the eye for an image to his million-dollar business.
Pacsun initiated a professional career with Dameshek right out of highschool, but prior to brand deals and bookings, he earned an income off of hometown projects for restaurants, businesses, and he would even offer to take Christmas cards for families.
As young middle-schoolers, he would be the man for photographing moments from ice-skating to classic posing with peace signs and hands on the hips. Yet, he never felt “called” to be a professional photographer. Little did he know, he is one of the greatest and without him many celebrities would be at a loss. He claims “it was very much a hobby” during his interview with Frederick Daso for Forbes.
Present Dameshek should be the most proud of himself with the brand he has built for himself personally and for his book “Yours Truly”. Aesthetically, the scrap book of images attracts the eye without hesitation. The sleek design of the pages elaborate on his precision; precision which led him to hosting his own red carpet and release party to celebrate.
Most people cannot clearly answer the question: “What sets you apart from everyone else?” But, the photographer does so with ease. He knew right away when Daso implored and voiced, “I share a different connection to my subjects than a lot of people do. It’s very rare that I work with somebody who doesn’t become a dear friend of mine.”
Automatically, the light bulb goes off- he is personal. A noticeable portion of his Instagram page shares the faces of many “subjects” who have grown deeper with their relationship to the creative.
Sincere efforts turned into the young adult’s pride and joy.
