Meet Sona
About me, my profession and expertiseI’m a professional photographer who specializes in business headshots and corporate event photography throughout California. After exploring the experiences of Massachusetts, I relocated to Carlsbad in 2017.
My photography skills were honed at Holyoke Community College in Boston and MiraCosta College in California. My journey to becoming a professional photographer began in the late 2000s and eventually led to the establishment of SonaPicture Photography.
Community and diversity are of great importance to me. My goal as a professional photographer is to capture the true essence of events and moments.
This philosophy also extends to my interactions with clients, both old and new. Building long-lasting relationships and understanding each client’s unique vision is crucial.
In my profession as a photographer, my focus is on capturing genuine and impactful moments in various settings. Whether I am documenting significant events, covering news stories, or capturing conferences, photography serves as a powerful medium for conveying narratives and actions.
In a world flooded with visual content, the role of a professional photographer goes beyond simply taking photographs; it involves shaping perspectives and narratives. The power of visual storytelling contributes to a deeper understanding of our world.
My photography style is generally timeless and authentic. When I think about what I want to achieve with a photograph, I am reminded of my fascination with capturing people from the past. When discussing photography styles, lighting and its intensity are often mentioned, and this is situation-dependent. For couples, children, and families, I prefer using a natural photography style that incorporates soft lighting, colors, and textures to showcase the best version of life.
Depending on the objectives of the photoshoot and the availability of natural light, I either utilize natural light or employ subtle flash photography. For products, headshots, corporate, or editorial work, flash photography is typically utilized. Whether I am shooting in a studio or outdoors, my photography sessions are meant to be enjoyable and organic, often involving a lot of movement. I work with my clients by providing fun and easy prompts to follow, while also offering specific guidance to bring out their best.
