Driven by her fascination for photography and design, the Munich based French-German photographer Sonia Aumiller (born 1971) completed her studies at the University of Applied Arts in Paris with a mélange of skills. From learning how to develop analog film to sharpening her sense of image composition and colour, she eventually opted to specialise in design and embarked on a career in fashion that spanned twenty years. She retreated from the fast-paced, cut-throat world of fashion to devote her artistic passion entirely to photography.
