Creating Visual Poetry

Sona Beniwal

  Sona Beniwal is a Photo Artist, born in a small village at Sirsa District of Haryana (India) in February, 1974. The uniqueness about photography she feels is: “You start to see the world around you with an entirely different vision.” She was obsessed with pencil sketching in her early youth and soon converted her interest in capturing fleeting moments in the camera. She is into her ultimate passion for Photography since 2007. The process of seeing the world through a viewfinder presented before her an entire new opportunity. Her creativity did not look back since then. Be it Mother Nature’s bounty or elements of daily life – she always creates visual ‘Poetry’ out of them. She nurtures her subject with a soulful heart and that brings to life whatever she crafts. Her depiction in monochrome shades needs ‘special mention’ as they perfectly complement her abstract personality, which she is. Being an Artist, she tries to project an emotional intent into the viewer’s realm of imagination.

She has achieved many Awards from different National and International Salons/Exhibitions from more than 25 countries. Her works has been displayed in many exhibitions and has been featured in a travel magazine ‘Let’s Go’ as well. She has served as a Judge in many International Digital Photography and Print Salons/Exhibitions/Circuits in India. She is serving as a Contest Captain in FIP, handling quarterly contests, FIP Indian Photographer of the Year and FIP Youth Photographer of the Year. She has received many honours from reputed national and international organizations.

In her words... “Photography is my Passion and Editing... my Meditation.”  She admits, “Creating something artisic and unique out of nothing embedded with a straight-forward approach is the best part of my passion for photography. Monochrome and Nature fascinate me the most. I am passionate about the entrancing beauty of the colourful birds as they are a symbol of FREEDOM. I always try to portray the beauty of world in my own style while catching the innocent exquisiteness of the nature and humankind at the right moment and understand it in a deeper sense.”
