Sophie is a director, photographer, sculptor and composer based in London.  She has collaborated with artists working in a range of mediums, from theatre and opera, to dance and film. 

 

Growing up in the South Downs on the south-eastern coast of England, Sophie finds herself drawn to making work in direct response to the environment.  Sophie works in the tactile, organic mediums of 35mm film photography, clay sculpture, and music that relies on an embodied approach - using sounds found in nature and in the human voice. 

 

Sophie's music has been performed across the UK, and in venues including The Southbank Centre, The Saatchi Gallery, The King's Place and St Martin-in-the-Fields, and by ensembles including The Helsinki Chamber Choir, The Latvian Radio Choir, The Aurora Orchestra, The BBC Singers and Ensemble Klang.

 

As photographer and sculptor Sophie’s work has been featured in Notes magazine and The Mays Anthology.

 

As a director, camera operator/editor, she has worked with large commercial clients including John Lewis, as well as on narrative drama (Bodycount, Neopolitan Pictures) and documentary (Icebreakers, London School of Economics).
