About
Sam Tanner is a New Zealand artist taking photos and writing songs inspired by the world around. Sam is based in Wairarapa, Aotearoa, with his wife Lily and their two kids.
“I have old cameras for shooting, a worn guitar for strumming, and an ever-evolving understanding of the world around me. A loving curiousity towards people and the world drives me in my art. As a teenager, songwriting was a way to wrestle with my inner world, then the camera found me and showed me a new way to look both outside and back in at myself. It is through tender visual and musical explorations that I find a way to communicate something meaningful, hopefully inspiring some kind of response in the hearts of others that makes the world a slightly better place to be.”
