Sam Pickart Photography
hi friends,
thank you for being here.
I am a queer photographer based in Brooklyn.
In my work, I seek to foster a space in which my clients feel celebrated, supported, and encouraged to explore the fullness of who they are.
I am rooted in the ideas that:
Every human is innately an artist.
Every artist brings a specific and necessary magic to the world around them.
With these beliefs at the heart of my work, I offer a studio experience that encourages each client to come home to themselves in front of the lens.
Can’t wait to create together.
My work has been featured in Variety, TIME, Deadline, Dance Magazine and more.

Sam is one of those rare people who can lock in with you immediately and make you feel like the most important person in the room. I've never been more comfortable in front of a camera, and his pictures are of the highest caliber. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

If I could shoot with Sam every day, I would. He made me feel the most inspired and confident I have ever felt in a photo session. He captures my most authentic self.

Sam Pickart is a genius. He is the most thoughtful, generous, attentive photographer I've ever collaborated with. I am not someone who feels particularly comfortable in front of a camera, and Sam's ability to make me feel instantaneously safe and empowered was magical. I will go back again and again.

I had the best time getting shots done by Sam! From the moment I walked in, he felt like a breath of fresh air. What strikes me most about the experience is his warmth. He genuinely wants you to love your shots and, beyond that, he wants you to feel seen and to be brave in the act of loving yourself. It is something we could all use.

My session with Sam was the most incredible photo shoot I’ve ever done. He has created a practice for clients to feel their best selves in the room. Never have I had such a hard time choosing my favorites! It was a special day that I won’t forget.

Sam is one of my favorite photographers to work with. He captures me in the way I see myself. I have gotten both my actor headshots and lifestyle shots with him, and they are shots for life.
