I am telling you stories. Trust me.
Sophie Winqvist Loggins has an absolute pitch for images. Her imagery spans visual excess and pure simplicity and is characterized by an outstanding sense of colour, rhythm and humour. In her work, Winqvist Loggins makes the well known uncertain and charges the insignificant with meaning. She conveys far more than is contained in the individual frames.
An extraordinary curiosity and appetite for images is channeled through her camera to a both daring and elegant aesthetics. Texture and temperature emerge from the images and moves straight into the viewer - soft fur and tense muscles in a dog´s movement, the cold when numb fingers meet with metal on a freezing winter’s night.
Sophie Winqvist Loggins is a Swedish cinematographer living in Österlen and Bombay. She has also lived in France, Cuba and speaks several languages. Apart from attending the internationally renowned National Film School of Denmark, she has a university degree in art history and has studied gender and postcolonial theories. Her first feature film was a commercial Bollywood horror flick, which is something that few – if any – western women directors of photography have taken on. The diverse background is reflected in her work on many levels. She says she uses her camera to hold on to the spirit of childhood games and fantasies. Play knows no boundaries and she moves effortlessly between documentaries, stills, commercials and feature films. Genre lacks importance when you’re inside a story.
