About

Sophie Reid is a photographer based in the Derwent Valley, Tasmania. Her specialty is making her subjects feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera.

Hi, I’m Sophie,

Family photographer, portrait photographer, event photographer and artist.

Connecting with people is something I do naturally and well. I am never at a loss for something to say and I make those I meet feel relaxed and comfortable. I find taking photos really fun and want you to as well. That way I believe you’ll be happy with the results.

Portraits

We live in the age of the selfie but for many people having their photo formally taken is their greatest nightmare. Having your photo taken at home means you’re already in an environment where you feel relaxed.

Families

Have you been thinking about having family photos taken but the idea of dragging everyone into a studio fills you with dread? Having photos taken in your own home is so much more relaxed!

Events

In the age of social media having a visual record of any event is vital. When it is well-captured it provides a record of the activity for use across all digital media and it yields engaging images for future use in company or event branding.

Fine Art

I love people and I love to photograph them, but I also love to take photos when there is no one around at all… Night has always fascinated me. In darkness familiar forms change, spaces shift and shadows vibrate allowing the mind room to move beyond daytime perceptions.

Her skills lie in building rapport and capturing people’s spirit in the moment, resulting in natural, fun and engaging images that highlight the connection between her and her subjects and her creative vision.”

“I was anxious about getting my author photo done, as I much prefer being on the other side of the lens. Thank goodness for Sophie. From our first conversation in advance of the shot, where we talked about the type of image I was after, I knew I was in excellent hands. Sophie's experience and manner of working kept me relaxed throughout, and I was thrilled with the results. Thank you Sophie for showing me that everyone can be a good subject!”
