I am SONYA.

A visual storyteller with a passion for intentional color, striking imagery, and emotionally resonant narratives.

​

I hold a BFA in Filmmaking from the New York Film Academy, and have lived across diverse cultures — from Kyiv to New York, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, St. Gallen, Kyoto, and Tokyo. These layered spaces and lived experiences shape the way I see, create, and edit.

​

I believe video and imagery are a universal, emotional, and cathartic language — one that stays with you, influences you, and at times, even haunts you long after.

​

My work is driven by that idea: to create visuals that feel intentional, atmospheric, and meaningful.
