New York wedding photographer featured on Grace Ormonde Wedding Style

Sofia — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 17:30:59 +0000

I am really excited to share that Grace Ormonde Wedding Style is featuring Nick and Morgan’s wedding today! Grace Ormonde Wedding Style is one of the most elegant luxury wedding magazines and blogs and Grace has exquisite taste. I am really honored that they chose their wedding. Of course, Morgan also has exquisite, elegant and classic taste so it is the perfect fit. Beautiful Blooms did a gorgeous job with the flowers.

I love that Grace talks about the lighting. Lighting is one of the most overlooked aspects of the wedding planning process. However, photography’s most basic definition is the art of producing images by the action of light on light sensitive materials. Without light, there is no photograph. Lighting ties everything together, it gives the room depth, accents the details you spent months collecting and creating and gives the mood for the evening. The Franklin Institute does a great job with their lighting.

I am very excited to finally be able to share that Style Me Pretty is featuring Christ and Brad’s gorgeous Kimmel Center wedding (1, 2, 3) on their Little Black Book blog. This wedding was absolutely stunning thanks to Christi’s impeccable style and Evantine’s gorgeous designs. I had such a wonderful time working with Christi and Brad because they were so open and generous. They were both so excited for the day and everyone had a smile on their face. When you get to witness such joy, love and happiness it makes it all worth it.

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.

Special thank you to:
