Sofia on Photography:

Why do you like photography?

”OOOOF, I started liking photography when I realized that when I was with my camera I was present and conscious of the environment I was in. It gave me the ability to find different frameworks. It is not only about beauty or aesthetics but the realities around you. After that realization what photography gave in in the surface of it I also realized that it could be used to show other people what I was experiencing, I could share with others the story behind that photo. Me encanta que, the is something very beautiful about shooting something that will never happen again. With photography you can literally stop time and I think that is the true beauty behind photography. Es irrepetible. “

How we met Sofi:

Sofia is also a Baret Scholars. Alice and Sofi were lucky enough to be put as roommates for the first semester of the program. Their shared passion for photography brought them even closer. In the first day they met they talked for hours and hours about their different projects on photojournalism and what it means to them. The powerful fuel of their photography work is to share stories and allow others to expierece realization brought by different realities captured in images.

What’s mission with photography?

“ I really wanna start doing documentary bevcause even though photography is a very striking thing to show realities, my mission with documentary photography is to be bridge of the stories to the world. My purpose is not to be the voice but tho be a channel to the voice to travel to others.”

”the most valuable thing to me in life is to connect in the community I inserted in and the inspiration and motivation that I relcieze from that. I think is an exchange of beliefs and perspectives. I think that as long as i have those connections i will never be empty”
