About Sam Jackson

My love of storytelling through media has led me to gain photography production experience in Toronto through my freelance photography and my work as a junior producer at KZM Agency/Zinc Production. Through photography and producing, I use my experience in visual storytelling and detail-oriented nature to bring creative projects to life, with an emphasis on amplifying voices from equity-deserving communities. I graduated from Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University) in the spring of 2021 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Photography.
