A course by Sandra Holmes
Sandra Holmes holds a degree in Art History and uses photography as a way to freely express her creativity. She currently works as a product photographer creating images for clients to use on their websites, online stores, and, above all, social media. Her work has led her to collaborate with brands like Zooosociety, Petit Bateau, and La Tribu de Mami.
She sees photographs wherever she looks and plans out each detail including the objects, composition, light, and even how she wants to edit them. Sandra always has the same goal in mind for her photos: express an idea and capture an image that says something about her.
