American fashion photographer Sam Dameshek lives in the intimate details of his photographs. Enamored with the classical approach to image making, his photos are about the light, color, and energy that make a scene warm and inviting. Across commercial and editorial work, video direction and still imagery, Dameshek carries this effervescence in both his professional and personal work.

Beyond photography Dameshek also co-founded luxury street wear brand Wish Me Luck, and runs an online academy for students looking to launch their careers in photography, regularly holding in person workshops for hands-on learning.

“The inspiration behind this video was derived entirely from moments reflected by the song's story in my girlfriend Haley and I's personal life. Funny enough, we were actually in the process of moving when we were filming, so all the interior scenes were shot in both my old and new home. I lived and loved in my last home, so the moving process was the first time in a while I felt like I was clearly reminiscing, while simultaneously looking forward to my new beginning. To me, City of Blinding Lights is about change as well as the ups and downs of learning yourself when you're a small fish in a big pond.
The current events of my life felt serendipitous with the song's motif and It only felt right to create something that spoke to this.”

“My experience with U2 gave me a sense of freedom with film making that I haven't had since It was a hobby in highschool. There's nothing like creating a project for a client that says hey "we trust you, do what you want." I am grateful for the opportunity and look forward to the next one.”
