Sports & event photography · Melbourne

The action. The emotion. The story.

Melbourne sports photographer

Hi, I'm Sam.

I'm Sam Carter — a Melbourne sports and event photographer. I capture the moments that make sport special: the action on the field, and the emotion, celebration and personality around it.

I work with athletes, teams, clubs, schools and organisations to tell their stories and keep the moments that might otherwise be missed.
