​My name is Samantha Blair Coplon. I am a freelance photographer and dancer based in both Orlando and Gainesville, Florida. I am currently a student at the University of Florida, Gainesville, where I am attaining a BFA in Dance with a minor in Mass Communications. I grew up in Andover, New Jersey where I danced competitively with the Dance Academy of North Jersey. I’ve always had an interest in taking great photos, and would often find myself doing photoshoots with my friends in empty studios in our downtime. I went to college and really got to develop my interest in the activity. I bought my first camera in 2019, and I’ve been shooting ever since. I am a self-taught photographer and editor, with some coursework from my time at UF. I have photographed many clients in my years of being a photographer and video editor, and I have most recently photographed for the UF College of the Arts social media platforms and the UF Dance student organization Dance In A Suitcase.

Samantha Blair Photography was established in 2019.  I specialize in dance photography and portrait photography, but I have also done engagement shoots, nature photography, graduation photography, and more. I love working with all beings, and I am open to any type of photoshoot. My philosophy is that we can all create art, so let’s create art together!
