Sofía Fernández Stenström

As a Swedish-Spanish fine art photographer, my work is rooted in the exploration of women’s stories across cultures. I am fascinated by the language of the body, its quiet gestures, unspoken strength, and the way it holds memory and meaning.
My portraits are not about perfection, but presence. I photograph women from diverse backgrounds, seeking to reveal the tension between vulnerability and inner strength, stillness and emotion, individuality and universality.

Through form, light, and texture, I search for the soul beneath the surface, a sense of timelessness, dignity, and truth that connects us beyond borders.
Each woman I photograph brings her own history, energy, and essence. My role is to listen with my eyes, my lens, and my heart, and to create a space where that essence can rise to the surface.

In a world saturated with noise, I aim to offer quiet, honest images that speak to something deeper: our shared humanity, and the beauty of simply being seen.
