Hi, I am Samara Sánchez. I’m a visual creative with background in advertising and portrait photography, and a deep love for post-production. Over the years, I’ve developed a sharp eye for detail through high-end retouching and creative asset creation. I recently started working with AI-generated imagery—something that sparked my curiosity and now plays a real part in my professional toolkit. I’m currently certified in AI and creating visual assets for global brands in the beauty and food industries. I care deeply about telling stories through visuals, and I’m always looking to learn, experiment and grow—whether that’s through photography, design, or whatever’s next in the creative world.
