§ 01 · Photography + Product

A slow archive of quiet moments,
held carefully in the frame.

I'm Sam Bloomberg-Rissman — a product leader at Salesforce and a photographer who sees the world through both lenses. This is where I put the frames worth keeping.

§ 02 · Recent Frames

Quiet places, careful light.

A rolling selection from the last few years — film and digital, coast and city.

§ 03 · About

Two lenses on one world.

Both practices are the same: decide what to keep in the frame, and trust the rest.

I'm Sam — a product leader who sees the world through both creative and strategic lenses. By day I lead Event Technology Product Management at Salesforce, bringing together the physical and digital sides of our biggest gatherings.

By weekend and by evening, I photograph the places I happen to be standing in. I spent a chapter of my life as a professional photographer — now I make frames purely for the love of looking, and every so often a few of them belong together.

I read slowly, walk often, and am always available for a good conversation about product craft, coastal light, or the Leica M.
