About Sonja Quintero:
Sonja Quintero is a fine art photographer living and working in Dallas, Texas. She holds a B.F.A from the University of North Texas with a concentration in Interior Design and Art History. Her love for photography began as result of photographing her clients homes. She began teaching herself the discipline, the old-fashioned way, with black and white film and a fixed 50mm lens. Today, she is a full time photographer and is well versed in both the film and digital realms of the medium.
Influenced deeply by her background in design and architecture, Sonja's primary artistic focus has been on documenting the scenes of everyday city life. Inspiration finds her among the sights of shady street corners, neon lights and towering buildings. She loves to capture those little details that often go overlooked. Through her photographs she strives to show the viewer the allure and vibrancy of our urban worlds. To her, "there is balance, beauty and thoughtful design to be found in every nook and cranny". Her photographs reflect a unique vision that celebrates the expression of individuality. Sharing this singular vision, is what drives her. Of her work, she says: "I want my photos to connect to people on a very personal level, one that will enliven their days, excite their spirit and broadens their minds."
