EYESO Featured Artist: Sara Sousa
Sara Sousa is a photographer based in Lisbon, Portugal.
Sara didn’t study photography – it was something she casually picked up when she was 18. The moment she really fell in love with photography’s aesthetics was when she started shooting on film, at the age of 25. She became fascinated with the slower process and the deliberateness it requires. She started by shooting mostly landscapes, and later discovered how wonderful it is to photograph people, and now she says she won’t go back.
Sara says she's still discovering her style and trying out different things. She's been focusing a lot on photographing faces and bodies, trying to capture interesting shapes, details – maybe the glow of skin exposed to sun, as well as expressions and some abstract shapes. She also really likes street photography. That’s the style she began with. Generally, she says, she absolutely loves saturated colors, strong contrasts, reflections, and shadows.
