Sam P. Cashmore (b. 1999) is a Bristol-based artist whose work emerges from an intense dialogue with the landscape, particularly (but not limited to) the South West of England, where he grew up. His work often places romanticised views onto often overlooked and liminal spaces. His portraits attempt to illustrate the relationship between subject, the landscape, the viewer, the camera, and the photographer.
