SAM ROSE PHILLIPS

CONSERVATION STORYTELLER

A story well-told has the power to stir hearts and bring people together.

I apply the arts of photography, filmmaking, and poetry towards a remembrance of interconnectivity. Equal parts soft & fierce, I show up with as much compassion as I do with strength. This balance is the foundation of how I interact with the world and the stories I tell.

I’m often seen focusing my lens on wildlife and conservation stories amid the coastal communities of what’s currently known as British Columbia. Witnessing the earth’s cycles of thriving and distress has brought me into a deeper understanding of humanity, and the stories, myths, and archetypes that ground us and guide us.

To move towards loving action, it’s time we bridge the division between us. We are here to learn love and respect for all that shares breath with us. Can we learn to value our differences in time to heal this land and ourselves?

We are longing for stories that leave us with a vision, a sense of possibility, and an understanding of how we can contribute to a more loving world. I’m dedicated to integrating truth and hope into the same conversations.

I can help your story have a lasting impression.

Testimonials

"There is so much noise in the world that it's easy for some of these events and issues to slip through the cracks. People like Sam won't let them slip and we're better for it."

Kate

"Samantha is a gifted writer, photographer and videographer. I first met her when she spent 2 months at our remote whale research station. During this time it was evident just how talented and motivated she was. She put together a short film on our work, and to this day it is still the most talked about and reviewed clip about our research. Sam was also there when we experienced the beaching of a young male orca. We were able to save the whale, the story was dynamic, and Sam captured this for us and quickly edited the footage that enabled us to share the story world wide. Besides all the great talent, she is also a dream to work with!"

Janie Wray, North Coast Cetacean Society

"Mark my words this name, Sam Rose Phillips, will be a name the whole world will know very soon. Every picture she takes draws you in as if you were there, as if you are the subject of the photograph. Her ability to tell a story without a single word is remarkable. I can't wait for every new picture she shares."

Melanie

"I feel my roots growing deeper into the ground and understand myself a bit more today because of Sam."

Rebecca, Conservancy Hornby Island

"Sam was able to create a movie which told our story in a way which was able to garner over 26,000 views on our Facebook page—an all-time new record for our organization! Sam is very easy to work with, very competent and definitely a self-starter!"

Dan Lewis, Clayoquot Action
