Clarissa Sofía
Photographer
Clarissa Sofía is a contemporary photographer and poet. Her curious and observant nature was shaped growing up between two cultures, having both Spanish and English roots. Her visual and written works express a sense of melancholia, calmness and strength, whilst examining femininity and mental health in the hopes of destigmatising topics surrounding the naked body and mind. She has taken inspiration from photographers; Francesca Woodman, Vivian Maier and Sally Mann, as well as poet Ocean Vuong. Though a large part of her influences come from nature and a curiosity for deepening her understanding of the self.
