Photo booths are fun

Sofia — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 14:16:10 +0000

I recently had the chance to do a “photobooth” for one of my wedding couples. They wanted to make sure they had a photo of everyone, so we set up with some lighting, an assistant, a few props and snapped away. These photos are much more fun than going around in a dark reception room to each table, with a huge centerpiece in the middle, half eaten food and drink and missing guests . Give your friends and family something else to do besides sitting around at your wedding.

Same sex marriage bill passes in New York

Sofia — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 15:18:30 +0000

Congratulations New York! Same sex couples can now be married in New York! I am really proud of being a New Yorker. It was about time. In a city where people come to search out and make their dreams come true, it is only fitting that gay couples can now come here and make their marriage legal. What a victory for the gay rights movement that started here with Stonewall!

There are many gay people close to me that will now be able to receive the same rights as other married couples in New York state. We still have a long way to go because there are still over 1,000 federal benefits that are out of reach but it is a huge step forward.

I can’t wait to capture and share the stories of many more same sex couples! Love has no boundaries.

Here are some great articles about gay marriage in New York!

New York Dance Photographer: Gallery showing at the TRUST Gallery in Philadelphia

Sofia — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 20:56:44 +0000

Sofia Negron Photography is proud to announce a solo gallery showing of dance photographs from the last 5 years of Shut Up and Dance. The showing will be the entire month of May at TRUST Gallery in Philadelphia. The gallery opening will be held on May 6, 2011 from 6:00-9:00PM at TRUST at 249 Arch Street Philadelphia, PA 19106. During the month of May, the show can be seen Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00AM-6:00PM. It free and open to the public.

These images are more than just pretty dance photographs but a representation of the commitment of a community of artists, volunteers and a non-profit organization to bring life to others and feed their bodies and souls.

In 1993, dancers at the Pennsylvania Ballet wanted to do something to respond to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. They realized the best thing they could do was “shut up and dance”. Every year since, the dancers have partnered with MANNA in presenting a one-night-only performance. For the last 5 years, Sofia Negron has had the honor of photographing this performance.

Especially for people at acute nutritional risk due to life-threatening illness, MANNA (Metropolitan Area Neighborhood Nutrition Alliance) prepares and delivers delicious nourishing meals and counsel, empowering individuals to battle illness and improve their quality of life. They provide 3 meals a day, 7 days a week at no charge. Every Shut Up and Dance ticket provides meals for one client.

A photographer for the last 10 years, Sofia Negron loves capturing movement and stories. Sofia not only photographs dancers and other artists, she also tells authentic love stories through her wedding photography. A former dancer herself, Sofia loves to capture the energy, the lines and the very soul of each dancer.

This exhibit will raise awareness for this wonderful organization, pay tribute to the dancers who have participated in these performances, and showcase Sofia’s dance photography work. 100% of the profits generated by the sale of these works during the show will be donated to MANNA.
