“Her eye captures a scene or person that you have never considered – or only glimpsed superficially. But through her lens, she can transform your perception. She conveys strength where you saw weakness, insecurity in a place you thought a refuge. She alerts you to the world.” —Alfredo Garzino-Demo— article: Sofia Silva Transforms our View.
“… they’re simply gorgeous photos, well composed and thoughtfully chosen shots that show us our world in ways that allow us to stand back and actually see it”. Best of Baltimore issue, Baltimore Magazine
