Hi there, I’m Vernon Stamm. I’m a semi-retired freelance photographer and photojournalist based in Texas with a long-standing love for storytelling through imagery. I started photography in high school and over the years have photographed real estate, resorts, hotels, events, and travel, always chasing compelling visuals and the stories they tell. I’m comfortable behind the lens for weddings, portraits, and editorial work, and I enjoy sharing knowledge with others whenever I can. Today I split my time between Stamm Photography and ongoing journalistic projects, contributing to outlets like Examiner.com. I’m passionate about creating high-quality photography that helps brands shine and about continuing to explore the world through travel and reportage, while mentoring peers and pursuing personal projects when time allows.
