Sam Hayes is a photographer and director working between South Florida and New York. He brings a documentary instinct to commercial and editorial work, finding raw beauty, absurd humor, and intimacy in moments that feel unguarded and hard to forget.

Sam co-founded the production and post studio Ultratropic. His latest book is TONE DEATH, published with Highway Liaison. His first documentary feature, Wild Bill: A Killer in Paradise, is currently in production.
