food & drink photographer
Sophia DeSantis Photography is a food & drink photography brand in Southern California. Working both on set and remotely, I work with brands to bring their concepts to life through my brilliant photos and simple fresh style. I strive to tell the story and process behind the brand, not just capture the final product.
