About Me

Hi, I’m Sam Dawson. I work as a subsurface engineer and spend a lot of my free time taking photos and building projects. My photography is mainly landscapes and city scenes from places I’ve explored. This website acts as both a portfolio and a place where I share my work. Thanks for stopping by!
