As a photogapher I am interested in the essential qualities of portraiture, and what it means to be photographed. My work investigates how pose, gesture, eye contact, and environment reveal certain aspects of an individual's character.
I use a medium format camera on a tripod with a set of portable strobe lights. This results in images that are hyper-clear and crisp in detail. The long exposures allow a sense of the subject's self-reflection, complictating the issues of presentation and representation.
Please take a look at my portfolio and get in touch with me via contact@soniapaulino.com. Archival prints are available for purchase upon request. You may also view my resume and links to the work of my friends and colleagues.
