about the photographer
Richard Sammour studied cinematography, a discipline that shaped his passion for light and exposure in photography. His winning first prize in a photographic competition in university was a turning point in his career as a photographer. Working for a variety of publications, he concentrated on conceptual photography in his artistic practice. His creative process incorporates manipulation and Photoshop with many layers; he maintains that this is the expression of how he sees the world, through a different, maybe slightly dark, vision. Through the usage of a variety of symbols, such as tree, phalluses, stars, birds, Sammour wishes to bring the audience beyond the surface of his images, to a deeper understanding of its imagery and metaphors.back to gallery
