Staging and retouching are the tools employed to create this illusion. However, if we reverse the signs, a captivating and sensitive kind of photographic art emerges. This is precisely the hallmark of Sofie Knijff's work. Her photographs depict children from every corner of the Earth. Yet, she grants her subjects the autonomy to decide how they wish to be portrayed. Knijff engages in conversations with her subjects, asking about their ideal selves or dreams of themselves. The responses she receives are photographs that become reflections of their desires, possibilities, and hopes. Whether they elicit amusement or evoke emotional responses, the photographs consistently showcase an originality that hints at the potential for it to become a reality in the world of photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 742g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 221 x 327 x 14 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783775747769                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sofie Knijff","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44105316139258,"sku":"9783775747769","price":27.13,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1c5a714a23f3817188714f50018fbd31.jpg?v=1623001554","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/sofie-knijff-translations","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
