Hi everyone! Welcome to my portfolio website!

My name is Sonya Shpynova. I am a Ukrainian filmmaker, photographer and artist based in London.

I was born in a city called Kharkiv. When I was 10, I started doing underwater photography and this is when my artistic journey started. Some time later I realised and admitted my great interest in visual arts. One of my favourite topic of research is human beings - their personalities, desires, experiences, dreams. Have passion to things one cannot see. For me, true art lies in the ability to capture and convey the unseen and this is what drives me forward. 

In April 2022 I moved to the UK. Currently I study film at the University of Westminster. Mostly interested in cinematography, editing and production design as well as directing.
