Peterborough Photographer Samantha Moss Is A Local Star On The Rise
/Peterborough-based freelance portrait/product photographer Samantha Moss is a local star on the rise with her growing list of editorial and commercial clients. "This time last year I still felt I hadn’t earned the right to call myself a photographer—I was just a person who liked taking pictures," Moss tells PTBOCanada.
But over the past year, much has changed. Her client base and profile in the community has steadily risen.
"I have had the opportunity to work with some incredible local talent and businesses," Moss tells PTBOCanada. "Getting involved and networking with groups such as FastStart, The Greater Peterborough Innovation Cluster, and Arthur: Independent Press has opened so many doors for me."
"I don’t think I can really put to words just how much my Peterborough 'family' has helped me," says Moss, who is often seen covering local events. "I never would have had the courage to start a business or even known where to start without organizations like FastStart!"
Moss will be graduating in Spring from Trent University where she studied Media Studies, and has made roots here since moving here 6 years ago. She has found her calling in photography and photojournalism and plans to grow her business from right here in Peterborough.
"There are so many interesting people doing exciting things in Peterborough and I want to help them with my photography," Moss tells PTBOCanada. "I want to give the movers and shakers a chance to tell their story through photos and personalized branding."

Awesome Photo Of Grey Cup Champion Brad Sinopoli To Appear In Peterborough Sports Hall Of Fame
/Peterborough-bred Brad Sinopoli was chosen Most Valuable Canadian after the Ottawa Redblacks dramatic 39-33 overtime victory in the Grey Cup game against the Calgary Stampeders on Sunday (November 27th).
An awesome photo (see below) of the Crestwood grad taken by Ottawa-based editorial and portrait photographer Ellen Bond—who hails from Peterborough—during the 2015 season will soon be housed at the Peterborough Sports Hall of Fame for the next four months.
Bond got the chance to shoot for the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group (OSEG) during the past couple seasons, and was on the field for every Ottawa Redblack game.
"Being from Peterborough, playing so many sports there—my dad Ernie and brother Eric also being deeply involved in athletics in Peterborough—and knowing all the photos out there of Brad Sinopoli....for them to want to display my photo is an honour," Bond tells PTBOCanada. "Maybe they did their research and knew Brad's dad, Sam, was one of my high school (Crestwood) hockey coaches....LOL. I am proud of that photo and happy more people in Peterborough will get to see it."
She also took this great photo below of Brad Sinopoli with his Dad Sam during the 2015 season...
