Sam Shootz is a concert and event photographer, with a big love for live music and capturing the energy that comes with it. Although she is based in The Netherlands, she hopes her passion for photography and music will take her all over the world. Her style is focused on dynamic imagery, vivid colors, and a little retro touch. Making her creations lively, warm and powerful.

She first picked up a camera when she was 14 years old and from that moment on she knew photography was something special. Still, it took some time before she turned photography into a career. After getting a Bachelorโ€™s degree in Biomedical Research and starting a masterโ€™s in Neurobiology, she realized she didnโ€™t want to choose between science or creativity and found a way to do both. This lead to her starting as a concert and event photographer.

โ€œConcerts, festivals, and raves all have one thing in common: the ability to be fully present, immerse yourself in the music, and forget every worry youโ€™re carrying in that moment,โ€ Sam said. Her goal is that her work will โ€œinspire some, bring back memories for other, and will let you relive the excitement and freedom that concerts giveโ€.

Sam discovered Ratchet through TikTok and was immediately drawn to their unique creative energy. She reached out when the band put out a call for photographers and ended up shooting their show at Nobel in Leiden. โ€œIt was such a fun night. They were amazing on stage, but what really stood out to me was their creativity. The storytelling, the setup, even the handmade merch โ€”it all felt really intentional,โ€ Sam said. โ€œCapturing this felt like an honor, and I hope to see more of them in the future.โ€
