Sammy Royal

Hi, I’m Sammy, a photographer based in Paris, originally from New Zealand. With a background in TV production and a passion for visual storytelling, I create images that bring spaces and experiences to life.

I photograph restaurants, cafés, and hotels, capturing not just the dishes but the full atmosphere-from exterior architecture to interior details. My work also extends to cityscapes and urban life, documenting the character of places through light, textures, and design. Whether it’s a charming bistro, a Michelin-starred restaurant, or the dynamic energy of a city street, my photography tells a compelling visual story.

What I Offer:

📸 Photography that highlights the ambiance, design, and personality of restaurants and cafés

🍽️ Food photography that showcases dishes naturally and beautifully

🏨 Hotel and hospitality photography capturing inviting interiors and exteriors

🏙️ Architectural and cityscape photography for editorial and branding needs

📍 Location and branding photography for businesses in the hospitality and travel industries

My work has been featured in publications such as Paris Je T'aime, Seemyparis, Pariscityworld, VisitParisRegion, hellofrance, Vivre Paris, and HiP Paris where I am a regular contributor.
