Bio written by the insanely talented @sofiafeeney 

photo was taken by @oanhluongg_ (also insanely talented)

two years ago during my first gallery exhibition, someone told me that my photos look like memories from a distant dream. I think about that every time I shoot now. That was back when my profile picture was a chrome ball, originally used as a symbol of self reflection. But later, it served a new purpose for me. This portrait for my new website is inspired by Edison’s hypnagogic sleep technique, in which he would sit holding a chrome metal ball above the floor. As he drifted into the first stage of sleep, the ball would drop, wake him, and allow him to capture the dream-like ideas that surfaced in that brief transition between wakefulness and sleep. 

Around me are the books that influenced my work over the years. A few short existential philosophy novels by Dostoyevsky changed the way I perceive people, and the industrial design books (what I studied in college) underneath them changed the way I perceive things. On top of the stack is my Bible opened to Psalm 39:4-5 : “Lord, remind me of how brief my time on earth will be… you have made my entire lifetime no longer than the width of my hand.”

I purposely left the crown of my watch pulled out to symbolize frozen time in this photo. And for those of you who know me really well, I pretty much ALWAYS tilt my head when I’m focused on something. I have no idea why. I’ve been doing it since kindergarten.

Visualizing openness and using time to your advantage.

Now that I’m finishing up my degree in Industrial Design, I decided to take another look at these photos from winter break. They really didn’t seem like anything a few months ago, but now I see stillness, atmosphere, and space - appropriate for this point in time. Use your time to your advantage.

First step: focus your attention. Recently, my mentor suggested I write a letter to my future self 5 years from now, filled with promises I make for myself. I thought it was interesting so I had to share. It’s helpful to develop a focus.

Shots from best weekend trip I’ve ever been on. Spontaneity is key. Saying yes is key. Living fully is key. Someone write that down.

Yeah this is 2 months late but film isn’t a fast process. If I wanted fast I’d be an AI “artist”

Another example finding colors I like in unlikely places. Hopefully the videos help with showing what I look for in a photograph. Subject matter and color are very important to me.

This photo and its title commemorate life’s “scenes”, often crystallized as the colloquial “core memory”. We find transcendent meaning in moments that feel visceral and transitional… resonating with an unconscious instinct of the human condition.

These are the cinematic moments in time. I felt something akin to that feeling prior to taking this photo.

These shots are 4 months old. Not on purpose, I just forgot to post them😬 going to Wildwood and taking a photo that hasn’t already been taken a hundred times is pretty challenging, so I tried my best to be unique. All taken on my dynamic duo: #canonae1 and #mamiyarz67 with aerocolor IV
