Lucien Samaha

I have been a prolific photographer ever since I took the first photography course in an art curriculum in high school back in 1975. My many careers have included being an International Flight Service Manager for TWA; a Marketing Manager at Eastman Kodak company, where I was at the right place and at the right time to be the first person to ever take a digital photograph outside of the engineering departments.

I am also a very eclectic artist constantly seeking new ways to create images, using unconventional inks, substrates, and combinations of processes to create art pieces from as small as 8x10 up to 60 inches on the shorter side. If you see works here that you would like to see in sizes other than those posted, please let me know.
