Saam Gabbay: Reframing Reality Through Art, Photography & Music | Live Your Dreams Podcast

Live Your Dreams Podcast Season 6 Episode 5

Hi Dreamers! We're thrilled to receive your messages and fan mail here at the Live Your Dreams Podcast, and we can't wait to hear from you!

Today on Live Your Dreams, we’re diving into the mind of an artist who refuses to see the world as it is—and instead, shows us how it could be. Saam Gabbay is a photographer, filmmaker, and composer whose work bends reality with imagination, humor, and heart. A true creative provocateur, Saam has built a remarkable career creating visual stories and soundscapes for global brands like BMW, LEGO, Merck, Autodesk, and ViiV Healthcare all while keeping his art deeply human and alive. Known as “the best over-the-shoulder photographer in the business,” he captures breathtaking images with what his clients call a ninja-like presencefast, ego-free, and laser-focused on making the work shine. Beyond the lens, Saam’s curiosity has taken him everywhere from hosting R37, an immersive musical gathering inside a Los Angeles cathedral, to swimming with polar bears in the Arctic Circle. He’s also a sought-after mentor and speaker, guiding others through his Superpowers Workshops and keynote talks at the OFFF Festival and UCSB’s Art Studio Commencement. Whether he’s reframing identities, igniting creativity, or just cooking up something wild with friends, Saam reminds us that art and life are meant to be playful, passionate, and full of wonder.
