Sam Perches was our Director of Photography for our second season of “Boardwalks” for the Travel Channel. He did a phenomenal job keeping up with our rapid pace and still delivered amazing quality shots. We look forward to working with him again. He also came through in a pinch for us and was able to get us great aerial drone shots for the show as well. The network loved it!
