Sonny Parlin Photography

who the heck am i? i’m a photographer, designer, artist, father, husband and constant student of life. i’ve been a photographer for nearly a decade, but have only recently jumped into the profession with both feet. my background includes photojournalism training as well as a degree from the photography institute, where i was mentored by photographers renowned in the industry. i approach each photo like it has a unique story to tell. but getting a great shot is only the beginning. after each session, i spend time processing and color correcting each image to add that final bit of magic. if i have a personal style, i would say it’s to capture real people in real settings. i generally don’t use backdrops, stereotypical props or forced-looking poses. reality tells a much better story.
