Images are sometimes outstanding selfportraits, differnt colours supporting different moods and a deep private atmosphere. When she takes pictures the people in front of the camera are not posing, it´s more like she is an observer and catches that one single moment out of the situation.

Samantha is a phenonenon,not to be confused with the legions of self obsessed bimbos who photograph their anorexic twisted little faces all day to reap yet more dribbling comments from single nurds. Sam reports on herself visually in the 3rd person without concern for traditional vanity,her arena is a perfumed slaughterhouse of warm blood,bone fragments and champagne,

I have always admired Sam's self-portraits. She aims the camera at herself and one could almost feel the delirious relationship between medium and subject.
