What a super chat this was! I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with the amazing Sam Gironda from Australia. Sam’s a photographer who captures red carpet magic for Spotlight Report, but when he’s not snapping pics of the stars, he’s spreading joy, positivity, and his love for all things superheroes online.

We talked about so much—Sam’s incredible cosplay journey, his love for Smallville and Superman Returns, and of course, we couldn’t not dive into our excitement about James Gunn’s upcoming Superman movie (let’s just say, we’re counting down the days!).

Sam also shared an unforgettable story about meeting Brandon Routh at an Australian Con, and I was grinning ear to ear hearing it.

Sam, you’re an absolute legend—thank you for sharing your time and your passions with the world. Keep being super!

Sam also shared some of his amazing collection with me and it made me want to add some more to my Shelves Of Steel!
