Behind The Lens: Sam Gruver // @officialsamgruver
"My media journey started with just picking up a camera. I fell in love with finding different angles to look at something and photographing them. I wanted to show people that you can appreciate something more if you look at it from a different angle.
The thing I love about the car community the most is the differences in builds and styles. Everyone builds their cars in different ways, and that’s what makes them unique. Whether or not their style is your style, doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have hours of work done to it.
If I had to choose a favorite vehicle, I would have to choose an old Porsche 911 safari or the Singer 964 ACS. I’m a rally kid at heart but I love old Porsches, so why not put them together!
I am most excited to be working with LMS because I believe that the values this brand holds, are what the car community needs. Car culture is the passion for all sorts of cars, and the mutual respect no matter what build. Working with LMS also allows me to showcase my work and my passion for automotive and motorsport photography.
My top goal is to shoot IMSA level racing, whether that’s LMP2 or DTM, really anything under the sun. I aim to showcase cars and motorsport from angles that people don’t really see. The nitty gritty moments of the build or the race, and then the final product, to really tell the story of car culture and motorsport.
I am excited to be apart of the LMS Media Team this year, and to showcase all your builds!" - Sam
Sam was accepted to join the LMS media team for the 2022 year. He has extreme talents in many different types of photography, it would have been a mistake to not allow him onto the team to hone his skills even more. With an automotive and action sports background you'll be sure to find breathtaking and awe inspiring content on his pages as well as his website! We are looking forward to seeing what content Sam produces, as it's going to be a busy year!
If you're in the area it wouldn't be a bad idea to reach out to Sam for a shoot! His work speaks for itself and will leave you speechless!
