More of my work: The Speed Collection

Hello, I’m Sam, a highly passionate and accomplished freelance photographer with ten years of self-taught experience in the field including two years of college-taught photography courses at Madison College. My passion, dedication, and diverse experiences in the industry demonstrate that I am a well-rounded individual. I’m continuously looking to advance my professional career and skill set in the

photography field. Born and raised in South Central Wisconsin, my passion for photography began in 2013. From an early age I’ve had an eye for detail and a love for the arts, it was the perfect hobby. What started from documenting the Midwest automotive and aviation scene with what I had readily available to making a future career out of it. My love for photography, the automotive industry, and aviation has allowed me to accomplish remarkable projects, work with incredible people, and travel to phenomenal locations. As I continue to pursue my passion within the automotive industry, I've relocted to beautiful West Michigan to take on the role as a full-time Automotive Content Creator for The Speed Collection. An independent exotic and specialty car dealership based out of the Holland and Saugatuck area. Outside of photography I enjoy annually attending EAA Airventure in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, networking with like-minded automotive enthusiasts at local cars and coffee gatherings, attending numerous events at Road America over the summer months, and traveling to the likes of Monterey, California annually for Monterey Car Week in August.

Royal Canadian Air Force CF-18 Demonstration Team over the sky’s of East Michigan last month. 🇨🇦

2024 marks 100 years of service for the RCAF and this year’s one-off hand painted livery is genuinely second to none. One of the coolest I’ve seen to date and special to see here state side.

Hands on with undoubtedly one of my favorite money no object dream cars from the modern era, the 2012 Lexus LFA.

Chassis No. 270/ 500 is an Absolutely Red example sporting a Red/ Black leather interior. The $2,500 factory optioned Polished Wheels are hard to beat and easily my favorite wheel finish available on these.

Sun down with the infamous Golden Gate Bridge.

Views from the Marin Headlands just south of Sausalito give you a neat perspective. San Francisco’s downtown district and surrounding areas visible to the left with the Sutro Tower making appearance to the right of the frame.

One of those experiences I wish I could live over and over again.

Chinatown perspectives 🏮

San Francisco’s Chinatown is indeed the country’s oldest and largest. Here we’re looking south down Grant Avenue. The main strip before you get to the famous Dragon Gate in just a few blocks.

Had the brief opportunity to visit San Francisco for the first time last year. A whistle stop tour of the city’s most iconic locations within a single days time was no easy task.

Lombard Street was a must-visit. Perfect lighting and great views overlooking San Francisco’s North Beach neighborhood, Treasure Island, Bay Bridge, and Coit Tower.

The last photo is from Coit Tower’s open observation deck looking back West toward Lombard Street and the Russian Hill neighborhood. The Golden Gate Bridge makes an appearance as well.

‘Azzurro La Plata’ seems to be a popular choice among newer Ferrari models which I particularly enjoy. This 812 GTS paired with the SF90 Spider is yet another prime example why non dark colored wheels are superior.
