Top Notch Photography Team!
Over the past 20 years I have worked with countless photographers around the globe on various projects. There are few that stand out for the exceptional work they do. Fernando and Sonya have worked on several projects I have been involved with, from jewelry and accessories, consumer products and fashion. Their attention to detail, set design creativity, tasteful yet provocative lighting and styling techniques, and Sonya’s expert art direction have made them one of my favorite teams to work with. Beyond their exceptional photographic skills, Fernando and Sonya are extremely personable and patient, which goes a long way when you are under tight deadlines. They are also good listeners, but are not afraid to speak up and tell you why they have created the look they have and how some things just don’t work. This translates to a great finished product that everyone is happy with. I highly recommend Fernando and Sonya if you are looking for a top notch photography team.
Great Results, Personable, Good Value!
“As a relatively new client of Sonya and Sanchez Arias Photography, I’ve been absolutely thrilled with not only the image results but the entire working process with them as well.
