Suddeutsche Zeitung // /  by sophie green

As AI advances, it prompts us to consider what defines humanity—particularly emotions that machines can't replicate. When Suddeutsche Zeitung magazine asked me to create an image based on an emotion, I chose ‘nostalgia’. In Britain, many associate freedom and relaxation with seaside towns like Blackpool, where vibrant energy contrasts with quieter shores. For many, these beach resorts are childhood staples, visited repeatedly over the years. Beaches evoke a deep sense of nostalgia, offering an escape where we reconnect with our inner child and experience a carefree sense of play and wonder.

VISIT ZURICH CAMPAIGN // /  by sophie green

Earlier this month, I had the privilege of being invited by Visit Zurich to explore and document Zurich’s vibrant and often overlooked creative scene. Coinciding with the annual Street Parade, I uncovered a side of the city that’s raw, energetic, and brimming with life - a stark contrast to its typically picturesque image. I shared my insights and experiences with Ignant, reflecting on how this journey reshaped my perception of Zurich. Read more here.

PHILIPPE SANDS FOR LE MONDE // /  by sophie green

I photographed the Franco-British lawyer and writer Philippe Sands at his London based home for Le Monde. He achieved successes against the dictator Pinochet, in favor of the population of the Chagos Islands and participated in the birth of the International Criminal Court. But it is as a writer that this jurist makes the fundamental notions of human law accessible. His major current issue: the defense of the Palestinian Authority in the face of the occupation of the territories by Israel. Journalist: Valentine Faure.

ZEIT MAGAZINES TRAVEL SPECIAL // /  by sophie green

9 years of my travel photography archive + interview is published in Zeit Magazines annual travel photography special.

The images are part of my ongoing series, ‘Brief Encounters’, which exposes intimate abstractions amidst the varied landscapes of cities I’ve traversed across including Bolivia, Bulgaria, Colombia, Cuba, Fiji, France, Georgia, Greece, India, Ireland, the UK, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, Peru, Seville, Thailand, Ukraine, and Vietnam, spanning from 2016 to 2023. 
 
The series named ‘Brief Encounters’, captures snippets of everyday life, moments often overlooked yet brimming with significance. Together, these photographs form an offbeat memoir of humanity, weaving together the multi-layered stories of lived experiences.

My favorite pleasure when I travel is spending days walking around a city - roaming the streets, neighborhoods, walking in shops, buildings or even people’s houses when I’m invited. I don’t plan a route. I let curiosity lead me. I want to be around culture. Sharing conversations. Observing. Learning.
 
By default I feel a kinda anxious energy and have an over analytical mind that I find myself trying to exert but there is something about this process of wondering that unveils presence & awareness in me. The gift of awareness allows me to notice - creating connections.
 
The tone & quality of light changes minute to minute. Living in England – an often grey country. I am hypnotised by the sunlight when I travel. Also the ever changing smells, sounds and scenes. I’m fascinated by the routines, rituals, mannerisms, cultural customs, traditions and value systems of other people. The everyday choreography of life is dynamic and there is always something significant to notice in a new place. By documenting what I notice it creates a memory, a trigger for me - I look at the images and I can center myself back in the experience.

My other projects require a lot of research made over multiple years and I think a lot about the ethical issues of my approach to different communities. There is something liberating about working on a project that is exclusively about individual situations. As I continue to travel this series of snapshots ‘Brief Encounters’ is yet another of my favourite form: a long term project.
