I met photographer Samantha VanDeman at this year's Filter Photo Festival in Chicago. Her series, No Vacancy, has won many awards in the last couple of years. She made Review Santa Fe's Top 100 and is both a Critical Mass and Flash Forward finalist. Several pieces are currently on exhibit in collaboration with Vogue Italia at the Photo Lux Festival at Real Collegio in Lucca, Italy  through December 15th.
