Sonya Nagels is fine art and commercial photographer whose work evokes sensitivity and familiarity. Her photos reveal glimpses of emotion that lie beneath the surface of day-to-day life.

New Zealand born, she has lived in the United Kingdom and Australia and now currently resides in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Sonya’s photos move between candid intimate portraits and more structured series. Key themes in her work are time and displacement, possibly due to the amount of time she spends moving around the globe.
