About Me


Excerpts from:
"Why Your Camera Does Not Matter" © 2006 Ken Rockwell
"...Compelling photographs come from inspiration, not duplication.
"...A camera catches your imagination. No imagination, no photo - just crap. The word "image" comes from the word "imagination."
"...The camera's only job is to get out of the way of making photographs.
"...Better gear will not make you any better photos, since the gear can't make you a better photographer.
Sonya has been a fashion photographer since 1999. She started shooting up-and-coming models in CA, then added weddings and commercial print shoots after she moved to OK in 2001. She has since relocated to Nashville, TN .
Sonya is known for her "magazine layout" style shoots...in everything from model portfolios to wedding photography. Each shoot is done just as if it were created for a great magazine spread. You can view a sampling of her work at www.outsidetheframe.com (site being redesigned)....or at http://sonyastanley.solomodels.com (updated constantly).
