Resumé

I’m Samuel Martin Jamison (aka Martin Kyle) a professional product photographer with nearly a decade of experience producing high impact commercial imagery across multiple niches, including candles, jewelry, cosmetics, and beverages. My work spans both hero imagery and clean, consistent pack shots on white, with a workflow built for accuracy, repeatability, and scale. Every creative decision is grounded in a clear understanding of light physics, material response, and surface control, not guesswork.

I’ve received advanced studio lighting training through Karl Taylor Education, developing a rigorous command of studio fundamentals, light behavior, and precision based setups. This technical foundation allows me to engineer controlled results for ecommerce and advertising while maintaining a modern, elevated visual edge tailored to each brand.
