I have had a keen interest in photography for as long as I can remember. I grew up with my father being a hobby photographer with his Nikon and Pentax 35mm SLRs. I was given my first camera at around the age of 10, a 35mm film compact. I would avidly take photos and then the wait would begin on Thursdays when I would be taken late night shopping and would put my film in to be developed. Receiving the developed photographs and being able to see how they turned out was always an exciting moment!

As the years went on my passion for photography continued but my equipment advanced as technology changed the photography world. I spent a lot of time concentrating on landscape and street photography, as well as anything else that I could get into the frame. Now holding a qualification in Professional Photography, I have decided to combine my love of taking photos with my love of cars.

I have included here some of my other non automotive photographs which I enjoy taking under the name Sam Mikael Photography.
