Sama Kai is a London-based photographer who is known for his unfiltered image making. His work pivots on society & celebrities and their lives with imagery honest to the pulse of life.

With a particular focus on editorial, press and documentary projects, he adeptly jumps between these forms of photography. His goal is to capture the Black experience in its totality. His images are therefore nuanced and multifaceted, capturing joy, pain, triumph and everything in between.
