Samantha Lamb is a native Oklahoman who
graduated with a degree in Photographic Arts
and Journalism from the University of Central
Oklahoma. In addition to her formal art
training, she gained valuable photographic
experience as chief photographer for OK Travel,
creative director/photographer for the Dell D-Life
Campaign and as photographer for
Oklahoma Agritourism, a joint program between
the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food
and Forestry and the Oklahoma Tourism and
Recreation Department.
While traveling throughout the state for the
Oklahoma Agritourism Program, Lamb found
inspiration from the state's beautiful landscape.
Recently, she rediscovered her connection to
her rural roots by purchasing a small farm in
Hobart, located in the southwestern region of
the state. Lamb harvests her own honey, sews her own quilts and makes her own goat
cheese on her farm. In addition to raising chickens, Lamb is dedicated to her full-time
career as a photographer.
Having grown up around farms, Lamb is
deeply rooted in the agricultural life. She
incorporates the beauty of the farm in her
photographs with imagery of bluebonnet
fields, meadow grass and Oklahoma
sunrises.
"The farm has been a wellspring of
inspiration for my photography," says Lamb.
She finds the most inspiration from the
morning light which is a mainstay in her
images. "The morning is the time when I feel
most creative. Morning light illuminating
one's life is something that needs to be captured and kept. That is what I'm trying to do
with my photographs."
This series of work, titled Lion, Light, Lamb: The Perpetual
Picnic Part II, is inspired by the peaceful and beautiful
scenes of rural life. For each photograph, Lamb stages the
scene and waits patiently for the luminous morning light
along the Oklahoma horizon. Lamb's imagery combines
the natural beauty of the landscape with sentimental
objects which remind her of home, such as pocket
watches, freshly gathered eggs, banjos, patchwork quilts
and homegrown peaches.
The delicate beauty found in Lamb's imagery can also be
