Sofia Sebastian
I was born in Madrid but I currently lives in Washington DC. I was first introduced to photography while watching classic movies as a teenager but went on to pursue a career in international relations. Starting in 2011 I began to focus in photography as an art form, but it was only recently that I discovered my passion for street and documentary photography.
My work has been exhibited internationally in both solo and group shows. I received the first Female in Focus Award from 1854 Media in 2019 and have been a finalist in various street photography festivals, including Street Photo Milano in the category of emerging photographer, Street Photo San Francisco, and Aussie Street 2019.
About The Collection…
As someone raised in a big city, I am fascinated with the pace of everyday life. Trapped and competing for a space that I create, the characters on my stage are frequently engaged with something happening outside of the frame. There is energy but the commonality is a sense of drama, distress, and an embrace of the unknown.
I like to experiment with different approaches. Sometimes I look for interesting light. Other times, I simply walk in search of new ideas and stories.
