Samantha Turco Photographer | About

My Humble Beginnings...
I got my first camera when I turned 16, and fr om then on it was rare to find me without it on hand. I forced impromptu photo shoots with friends, took pictures of everything and everyone that I could, and when it came time for graduation, I knew my path was headed towards making a career out of my passion for photography.

I attended the Hallmark Institute of Photography in Massachusetts, and graduated in 2010. After graduating I moved to NYC to intern with Studio D in Hearst Tower, wh ere I worked on accounts like Cosmopolitan, Elle, and the Food Network, all while sleeping on an air mattress in a 3-bedroom apartment shared by 6 people, a dog and a bird– it doesn’t get more NYC than that!
