Sophia Ahamed - Skygazing

Ahamed is a Vancouver based photographer that is astonished by the size of the universe. Her work is focused on trying to see what is more to life and trying to unveil the hidden parts of it.

Ahamed started experimenting with photography in her teens, but it was only in her 20s that she started focusing on the medium. A big fan of nature, Ahamed usually looks to the sky for inspiration, tinting clouds and skies in either iridescent or saturated colors The effect is surreal, and hypnotizing: a revelation of nature through the eyes of a dreamer whose feet are firmly planted on the ground.

Having a pleasant view of the night sky from her bedroom window she started to gaze at the composition and colors of clouds. Colors are a very important part of her work process. She started to sense that they influence one’s mood. A colour can bring warmth and a sense of joy to something that usually brings sorrow and darkness.
