About Me

Hello! I am Samantha Cornish - founder of Samantha Cornish Photography. I am a photographer who specialises in portrait photography based in Hamilton, New Zealand. 

 

My love for photography started 10 years ago when I was exposed to the industry through modelling. Although I was on the other side of the lens at that point, I was fortunate enough to have exposure to the incredible detail and processes that went into creating visionary pieces of art, from shoot design right down to final delivery.  

I went on to have 3 beautiful children who were the inspiration in me picking up a camera and learning the craft in more depth. I had always loved portrait photography and marvelled at the story that a portrait could hold without any words.
