THE VISION

WHAT BEGAN AS A FEW PHOTOS ON A CANON REBEL T6 EVOLVED INTO A DISCIPLINED CREATIVE PRACTICE ROOTED IN CURIOSITY, COLOR SCIENCE, AND VISUAL STORYTELLING. TODAY, SONORÉ’S WORK SPANS PHOTOGRAPHY, FILMMAKING, AND CREATIVE DIRECTION, SHAPED BY A FASCINATION WITH CLASSIC FILM EMULATIONS FROM FUJIFILM AND LEICA AND A PRECISE, THEORY-DRIVEN APPROACH TO COLOR. WHETHER IN A CONTROLLED STUDIO OR CATCHING MOMENTS WITH FRIENDS, HIS IMAGERY BALANCES CRAFT AND SENTIMENT—TURNING FLEETING SCENES INTO WORK WORTH RETURNING TO.

AN AWARD-WINNING CINEMATOGRAPHER, HE HAS ALSO STEPPED CONFIDENTLY INTO FILM AS AN ACTOR, CREATIVE DIRECTOR, AND SCREENWRITER, BRINGING A COHESIVE ARTISTIC VOICE TO EVERY PROJECT HE TOUCHES.

HIS CREATIVE WORLD BEGAN EARLY. AT TEN, SONORÉ STARTED EXPLORING MUSIC AS A SERIOUS ARTISTIC OUTLET; NOW AT SEVENTEEN, HE’S REFINING A SOUND ROOTED IN EMOTIONAL CLARITY, CINEMATIC PRODUCTION CHOICES, AND TIGHT, STORY-FORWARD LYRICISM. AS A SINGER, SONGWRITER, AND PRODUCER, HE BUILDS MUSIC THAT FEELS BOTH INTIMATE AND INTENTIONAL, REVEALING AN ARTIST WITH DIRECTION FAR BEYOND HIS YEARS.

BEYOND THE STUDIO AND THE SET, HE SERVES AS A CADET WITH HIS LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT—A ROLE THAT REFLECTS HIS COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY AS MUCH AS HIS CHARACTER. AND IF ASKED WHAT HE ULTIMATELY WANTS FROM LIFE, HIS ANSWER STAYS SIMPLE: TO FALL IN LOVE AND TRAVEL THE WORLD.
