Capturing the Story of Sam Rudd: Artist and Designer

 

Recently, I had the privilege of spending time with the incredibly talented artist and designer, Sam Rudd, to elevate her online presence and connect her with her ever-growing audience. From the moment I stepped into her creative world, it was clear there was no shortage of inspiration.

As a painter and textile designer, Sam’s work is rooted in storytelling. From the gentle beginnings of her new studio to the creative chaos of sketches, tools of her trade, and her beautifully handcrafted homewares, every corner of her process is a reflection of her artistry. Together with Martin & Cox, our mission was to tell Sam’s story through authentic imagery, inviting her audience into her world and showcasing the magic behind her brand.

Sam’s work conjures the charm of the rural landscape — her paintings and textiles radiate warmth, familiarity, and contentment, making you feel immediately at ease. We captured a collection of images:

  • Portraits of Sam in her element.

  • Intimate moments of her at work in her studio.

  • Editorial shots of her stunning products, from art pieces to homewares like cushions, fabrics, and lampshades.

Her newest collection, inspired by the renovation of her family farmhouse in Cheshire, celebrates Country House charm. With romantic florals, timeless stripes, and characterful patterns, it bridges the old and new — worn antiques meet modern design in a way that feels effortlessly inviting.

This shoot, blending photo and video, is just the beginning of our ongoing collaboration. We’ll soon dive deeper into capturing her team and the behind-the-scenes process of how her products come to life. Every frame will continue to reflect authenticity, showing the heart behind her work — the skill, the process, the people, and the craftsmanship.

If you’re an artist, designer, or creative looking for imagery that connects your audience to your story, I’d love to work with you. Whether it’s photo, video, or a mix of both, let’s capture your world in a way that feels real and inspiring.
