SAM MARIANI

Travel Photographer

Our Special Guest Speaker

Sam Mariani is a travel photographer, who enjoys immersing in exotic locations while trying to look inconspicuous! His work has been picked up by various travel operators and can be found in numerous brochures. Sam has accumulated a vast network of local guides throughout Southeast Asia who look after him and is often found exploring monasteries upon some amazing mountain outlooks in the high regions of China and Nepal – or sampling exotic food on some remote beach in the land of smiles – Thai-land. However his new found passion is taking wildlife photos in Africa and is about to embark on leading his own safari tours. Africa is an amazing destination and always guarantees amazing photography and respect for some of nature’s incredible creatures.
