Theodore combines the classical language of photography with a rich bold aesthetic, placing the photographs somewhere in between the present and the past, an infinite moment of now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After finding his father\u2019s dusty camera in a storage box, he began shooting in high school at St. Johnsbury Academy in Vermont. The very moment he bought his own camera, he knew that he had found something special. He discovered a deeper love of photography while studying fine arts photography at Radford University. Following university, he attended the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale majoring in fashion photography. Samuels moved to New York, where he currently resides and travels often bring back interesting stories and inspiration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15876\" src=\"https:\/\/nycnewswire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/11\/theodore-samuels-photography.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To view more of Theodore&#8217;s work, go to <a href=\"https:\/\/theodoresamuels.com\">https:\/\/theodoresamuels.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo credit: Don brodie\u00a0@dbp_ Today it was announced that beauty and fashion photographer Theodore Samuels is hosting his first solo exhibit, titled \u2018The Games We Play\u2019 \u2013 taking place on November 28th, 2022 till December 1st 2022 at The Major Owens Community Center in Brooklyn, New York.
