Samuel Laubscher 16mm.jpg
 

Born to a British mother (ER Nurse) and an All-American father (Paramedic) who met passing off the injured to each other at a hospital in Los Angeles, California. Their early years were spent in the perfect weather of Southern California before they moved out to Atlanta, Georgia.

Always holding an interest in photography and motion pictures, Samuel began religiously pursuing the art of the photographic process when they were 15, working solely with 35mm film.

Since 2010 they have been working freelance in narrative and commercial cinematography and portrait and documentary photography. They specialize in working with or mimicking natural light and tactile camerawork.

Their work includes The History Channel special Return to Roanoke: Search for the Seven, Discovery ID's Dead Silent and Your Worst Nightmare, a pilot for Sony PlayStation Network, and a series of spots for Amazon Echo featuring Pentatonix.

Coming from a background in music, they see camera movement and lighting form in an melodic sense, being an emotive and somewhat enigmatic workflow. They believe that the set is a sacred place for the director and actors to work, so makes it a point to be a calm presence, keeping eye-lines clear, and being attentive to the emotions of the scene. They hire a diverse crew who also hold these values.

They are experienced in modern digital cinema, 35mm, and 16mm motion cameras, XR LED walls, and a dual citizen of the US and UK.
