Her work has found an audience worldwide.Sonjas strong unusual lighting schemes fuse with dynamic compositions to forge a transcendent vision of a twilight world that is simultaneously real and unreal, earthly and sublime. Her animated subjects demand the viewer to focus, then refocus in an almost syncopated manner.
Her technique is bold and innovative, enabling her to create photos that, in the words of british photographer and publisher, Rankin, are iconographic without looking unnatural. Sonja lives in Berlin
