Sofia Ajram

I feel Ajram's work directly correlates to the ideas that I had discussed with in my individual meeting this past Tuesday. Her work deals a lot with the same ideas of creating an alternate reality as well as using similar techniques in using light. I feel her first image is very much like the kind of image I want to create as the last image of the series  in which the light takes over the subject.

Biography:

Ajaram is a young photographer from montreal who just recently graduated from Dawson College in Montreal, with a degree in graphic design. Her work deals mostly with depicting these alternate worlds she creates. She became well known in photography after beginning to shoot for magazines in 2007.


Quotes:


"A great deal of things inspire my work. History, for the most part, sums it up rather well. What has happened, within and without, universally, and what has yet to happen but will be documented by time. That being said, I have never experienced this history firsthand, so the visual aesthetic of my work is due to my lucid dreams and vivid nightmares. I feel as though I need to document them in some way that others may experience what I have seen." - Sofia Ajram

"Women influence my photos. Women are sexy. Women are seductive, powerful from the core in a wild way that’s virtually inexplicable. I like to document that sexuality.” - Sofia Ajram
