About Me

Bio

Samuel Eichner is a twenty-three year old photographer and 3-D animator from Hoboken, NJ who just completed his BA in Art & Technology at Stevens Institute of Technology. He has worked for numerous originations at Stevens as well as several companies including Concentric Communications, AnimeNEXT and Bank of America. He has participated in the Hoboken Artists Studio Tour and has been featured twice in the DeBaun Auditorium. His primary photographic interests are in macro photography, light painting, nature photography and photojournalism. He has a very scientific mentality that enables him to quickly adapt to new situations and a natural creativity which when combined produces his unique works. He enjoys experimenting with geometry and light, which is apparent in his works, as is his somewhat dark outlook on life. Sam’s hobbies include origami, model building, user interface design, graphic art and web design and his goal is to become a 3D Animator for feature films.
