SUMMER-ENHANCING PEOPLE

Special Moments: Sam Youkilis

Tuscany by Sam Youkilis

There is an undeniably distinct and beautiful element to Sam Youkilis’ photography and film, drawing us immediately into subtle moments in others’ lives… “It is this innate curiosity and wants to see the world that infuses Sam’s photographs with so much energy. Far from presenting the well-known trophies of travel photography, however, Sam has developed a sharp eye for form, shape and color that moves subjects away from any perceptible settings.”

Highlights

• Poolsuite Picks: Napoli, Outfits of the Italian South, Estate, Sun-dried Tomatoes, 24 Hours at Home & Sunset in Menorca

• A new narrative experience of travel taking buses through South America: “I’m interested in how people devise travel plans around visiting famous sites, the photographs they take as evidence of their visit and the strangeness of how they move within them”

• A collaboration between BOYY and Sam Youkilis on a documentary series of still and moving image works, culminating in a visual love letter to Italian culture and the city of Milan

• On how Sam got started: “With drawing, I was obsessed with developing technical skills but when I started taking pictures [by accident a few years in], inserting my hand and developing a style was intuitive and organic”

• Explore Sam’s prints available for purchase
