'RESISTE,' PARCOURS SAINT-GERMAIN EXHIBITION

 

 

Sonia Sieff, photographer and director, has a singular taste for art and a sense of beauty rare to find.
Born in Paris, her playground was the studio of her father, Jean Loup Sieff, the admired photographer and friend of other creative talents such as Avedon, Newton or Ritts.

Photography was no mystery to her, it ran in her blood, leading her to explore her own creative path through multiple experiences: film set photographer at the age of 20, then a portraitist, she finally turned her attention to fashion photography.

Sonia chose fashion photography because she likes working in a team and being involved in  production. "Fashion is a combination of many aspects... the control over the portrait, the lights, the colors, the clothes and the encounter of all such elements makes  a good fashion picture”

“To listen to yourself and never follow someone else’s point of view.“  Sonia Sieff casts the silhouette of a biker, fearless and free like those women reporters of the 1970s. With a high degree of duality, she is able to switch spontaneously between masculinity at work and femininity in representation.

Sonia’s style is empowered by her love of light as well as an obsession with body and personality.
She loves women who make fashion their own."I don’t like clotheshanger girls, but those that stand out, that use clothes and play with them to create a personal style."
