Photographer for over 25 years (since 1988). Specializing in commercial portraiture, though experience (as well) in fashion, architecture, interiors, & product. I also have a wedding photography business under a different brand. In High school, I was a Broadcast Camera OPerator (and newscaster) for the local television station. Years later, I started shooting with a DV cam then dove in (literally) to digital cinema both on land and underwater. Currently, I shoot both live-action (digital cinema) and still photography commercially & doucmentary. in 2018 I created www.BrownPassport.com a docu-series (both writing/stills and video) about race, faith, and gender around the globe www.YouTube.com/BrownPassport. As of December 2020, I was appointed to the National Board of directors with the ASMP (www.ASMP.org). commercial work may be viewed via www.Samanthaisom.com

Flycam Basic flowline - alternative brand easy rig

'Poor man's Easy rig with Kon Frog clip. Unit claims 6-16 pounds load capacity, although I've used this with a Red kitted out no problem. Great for women (like myself :) Most of these are too large for me but this one fits well much like the Easy rig minimax.
