Sonia Marin
Milan - photographers
She has been working commercially since 1994, focussing especially on still-life subjects as a fine art photographer. Sonia has organised travelling exhibitions from Copenhagen to Washington, Boston and Barcelona.
She received special mention as Best Complete Project in the 'Photographic Talent' Competition by FNAC, Milan (2006), and was awarded Best Artistic Picture of the year in the Commercial Field at the 'Master' Competition, Moscow (2006).
Sonia is able to capture the emotions and sensations of life through simple images of everyday objects and the human body, by "de-contextualising and re-inserting them into a new environment". Creating images for either commercial or personal work, her style and direction is guided by the need to tell stories with single images.
All of her images are rendered through Polaroid.
