I am Sam Batour, a Montréal-based cinematographer and filmmaker. My work is defined by controlled, intentional imagery, with an emphasis on naturalistic lighting, contrast, and atmosphere.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked as a cinematographer and filmmaker across corporate, documentary, and narrative productions, including short films, features, and branded content. I enjoy translating complex ideas into clear visual language and shaping images that support both story and purpose.

My work has received international recognition for its visual storytelling. Most recently, I served as cinematographer on the feature essay Nécrose by François Yazbeck, selected for premiere at the International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR) and DocPoint – Helsinki Documentary Film Festival. These selections reflect the film’s narrative strength and its considered visual approach.
