Creative Manifesto

“To draw you must close your eyes and sing.”

— Pablo Picasso

And I’ve left my eyes open for too long. As I celebrate another year of Studio Sophy (it turned 4 years old this month!) I’m setting creative goals for myself. This year, I w̶a̶n̶t̶ t̶o̶ will

• Spend time getting lost in my imagination.

• Be a beginner.

• Create art I’m proud of, in mediums I want to explore.

• Get lost in that process and feel emotions.

• Write more.

• Share my work on this site. Share my work everywhere because I’m proud of it.

• Shoot portraits.

• Shoot fashion.

• Start building a studio.

• Continue to study great photographers from the past and present.

• Collaborate with other creatives.

• Spend much more time doing personal projects than paid freelance work.

• Not let the pressure of practical everyday life get in the way of my dreams.

• Reclaim my passion. Rediscover the work that is meaningful to me. Redefine my identity as an artist accordingly to my own standards.

• Realign myself with the reason I started this website in the first place. Studio Sophy is a world of truth, imagination, and dreams.

• Put my heart into my work. And sing.
