About

Based in Melbourne, Australia, Sam Sneddon has been taking photographs since 2003, when he was introduced to the format by a visiting relative. After extensive practice and experimentation, he finally settled on his favourite style, the panorama. Drawing inspiration from some of Australia’s leading landscape photographers, Sam soon learnt how to capture scenes in this special format. Over time, Sam honed his skills at photograph stitching and travelled all over Victoria in pursuit of light and landscape. He developed a genuine passion for discovering new and unseen locations. Nowadays he offers the fruit of his labour in the form of limited edition prints and stock photographs, so that others can share-in, and benefit-from Sam’s explorative journeys around Victoria.

In 2005 and 2006 Sam exhibited his first themed series of images based on the coastline of the Mornington Peninsula. Titled ‘Back To Front’ and featuring 25 images of both natural and man-made coastal features, the series met high acclaim and very soon Sam’s photographs were highly sought after. The creation of the series sparked a new found love of coastal images, and since then Sam has continued to pursue this theme with a follow up series titled ‘Land’s End’ encompassing both the Mornington and Bellarine Peninsulas.

Sam Sneddon endeavours to offer collectors of his fine-art limited edition prints, stunning images of unique and interesting locations not over-saturated by the commercial photography market. He believes that there is something more special in capturing a location that uncommon or taken-for-granted, and re-introducing viewers to their own backyards. In addition to this, Sam believes in pursuing a genuinely unique perspective in his images, avoiding imitation or emulation and attempting to lead-by-example through innovation.
