About
Sam Laundon is a photographer, teacher, digital artist and founder of SmilePix, a dental imaging service he started in 2000. With more than 13 years of imaging experience, Sam fully understands the challenges of photographing patients and turning those photographs into digital smile simulations. Having seen thousands of photographs sent to SmilePix by dental offices around the world, Sam has realized that one size does not fit all when it comes to imaging software. He has collaborated with Dr. Lorin Berland to create the new Lorin Smile Styles and SmilePix E-Z Imaging (SEZI) to help dental offices create their own smile simulations. SEZI is the first in the dental industry to create plug-ins for Photoshop, the preeminent image-editing software in the world. Sam has also created a series of video tutorials to share his expertise in smile simulation creation with Photoshop.
