Public Relations

Portrait
Whether individual or group, portraiture is one of the most personal types of photography. Sam approaches every project with the utmost professionalism, imagination and understanding, a natural ability to create a fun experience that puts his subjects at ease, and a flair for capturing the character and personality behind the image.
Commercial
Sam has worked on a number of diverse commercial and marketing photography projects, and been published internationally both as a fine art and editorial photographer. He approaches every new project with enthusiasm and a creative, keen eye for images that reflect a company’s personality and commercial objectives, whether for a website, brochure or other marketing collateral.
Architecture & Interiors
The appearance of a building, both inside and out, can speak volumes for the activity it represents, whether business, cultural, leisure or domestic. New or old, contemporary or traditional, state-of-the-art or historic, Sam's keen eye and sense for location can give your building the attention it calls for. There are many historic and beautiful buildings in Harrogate and indeed the North of England, so please consider Sam Oakes Photography if you have any needs in this specific area.
Contemporary art for homes and offices
Sam has a vast back catalogue of work from all around the world, which includes some of the most breath taking landscapes from Croatia, Australia and the UK, to the wild and beautiful wildlife of Africa. All images can be printed, signed and framed to suit your decor, at any bespoke size or alternatively put onto canvas or artbloc to compliment that empty space
