John Samora - a commercial photographer based in Phoenix, Arizona and covering the Southwest - specializes in people and product-based advertising photography. He is also adept at creating images for a select editorial clientele.

With over 16 years of professional photographic experience, John spent more than a decade as a newspaper photographer. He is comfortable both on location and in his studio. Conversant in all imaging formats, he shoots digital capture as well as 4 x 5, 6cm x 7cm, and 35mm formats.

In addition to his own creative skills, John has an extensive network of professional associates at his disposal. As such, he can provide clients with complete photographic services. These include styling, makeup, propping, fabrication and location scouting experts. Complete pre-press services are also available, specifically, drum scanning, digital manipulation and graphic design.

When not surfing the Weiner-mobile in Las Vegas, John can be found pursuing his avocation - fronting the blues band "Big Nick and the Gila Monsters."
