Hours after being offered a job from a NASA contractor, Sam dropped everything to go all in as a political news and celebrity portrait photographer in DC. Sam was inevitably drawn to wedding photography as a space to promote more inventive ideas. His focus is on photographic techniques which, though deceptively simple, have potential to transform difficult or uninspiring shooting environments into one of a kind opportunities for every photo created.

WORKSHOP + PRESETS + 3D LUT CREATIVE PROFILES
• Workshop - The Signal Flow Workshop comes packed with tutorials + exercise files. Videos include editing across a dynamic collection of lighting environments, workflow optimization for ultrafast Lightroom performance, how to generate your own 3D LUT interchange and more.
• Presets - ISO adaptive collection of interpixel editing presets. One click will instantly transform your photos w/ 2 core looks, and a dozen modifiers so you can dial in the perfect edit in seconds.
• 3D LUT Creative Profiles - Use the presets you already have w/ my bespoke creative profile I call "BitDepth." BitDepth leverages a LUT that re-interprets colors so you can access richer tones without comprimising your established look.
• Signal Flow (Sam Hurd)
• Gainstage (Sam Hurd)
Signal Flow is interpixel editing leveraging the “creative profile” camera calibration to apply a custom 3D LUT for color and tone interpretation outside of the algorithmic limitations of Lightroom.
This enables fundamentally new capabilities and looks never before achievable in Lightroom.

Bit Crusher Binary
Preset - Black and white configuration with extremely muted highlights and low contrast.
TOOLS
Decay
Tool - Muted highlights in the tone curve useful for overexposed photos.
Jpeg Finalizer
Tool - Utilizes a separate BitDepth profile anticipating a JPEG file for a “cooked”and final look.
