A current fave

Flickr has been great for me, I never knew I would get so much out of it. I'm amazed at how my stream and flickr addiction has grown. I joined the 365 Project and completed a year of self portraits, see my 365 Set, I still enjoy self portraiture. I taught myself Photoshop and enjoy the mix that creativity, photography and self portraiture brings. You will find the great community here, friendly and supportive.

I am available for freelance work, and commissions.

She Took Her Own Picture is the inaugural collection of self-portraiture from members of the Female Self-Portrait Artists’ Support Group.
The first book of its kind, featuring images and profiles of 44 artists, the book is bursting with sumptuous artworks by emerging female self-portraitists.
Though photographers and painters like Cindy Sherman and Frida Kahlo are world-renowned for their contribution to the female self-portraiture movement, this book demonstrates that more and more women are taking control of their own image and exploring and experimenting with self-representation.
The book is now available to purchase, limited time only, read more about it by clicking it's beautiful cover:

I Love Poppies says:
"I just love this womans work! Sosij (or Miss Sausage as i affectionately call her) is a wonderfully creative photographic artist and model! She has a beautiful body and puts it to great use in her work! I especially love how she takes great care to marry up colours of her clothing to the surroundings she is posing in! Her shots in Poppy fields and bluebell woods are just stunning!!
She's also a loyal flickr friend with a wonderful sense of humour!
All in all i think that makes her Flickr royalty!
Keep up the great work my friend! :-)
Love Carl xx"14th December, 2010

Jeffxyz says:
"Someone wrote the following words in a testimonial for me and I feel they can be adapted apply perfectly for Sharon.
"Sharon is talented in all kinds of photography: self portraits, portraits, family, landscapes(woodscapes to be exact!) etc. and somehow there is a communal and distinctive style in all of them."
As one of my favourite contacts I love seeing new posts because you know you're getting 100% Sharon - and the odd copy of someone else's idea is usually an improvement anyway! 8-)"18th November, 2009

"Sosij is amazing. Every single day I look at her work and it inspires me to put that little bit of extra of effort into my own. Her photos tell stories on their own. Her photos evoke layers of emotions that go beyond just the digital or printed work. Im truly honored that she calls me a friend and hope one day to be able to cross the pond and meet up with her :)"

"*TESTIHAIKUMONIAL*
There are stripey socks
And some half nekkid Thursdays
Sometimes quite risqué ;-)
Remove the layers
And then you will discover
Wonderful person
Without a doubt she's
One of the nicest people
I have never met :-)

"Some Flickrers are more equal than others. Sos is one of them. She usually takes just a little more trouble to add a meaningful comment than others. Her photos are often spectacular and daring and almost always inspiring. She is friendly and humourous and clever on top.
I am so happy to have met you here and wouldn't mind at all meeting you for real one day!"24th June, 2008

"sos is a beautiful person inside and out and so generous it makes me swoon! she has the most amazing sets on flickr, including her very wonderful 365 shots.
you must see this womans sock collection too, and on that note, her beautiful legs made from heaven.
sosij is a true friend who is always there for me when i need her most. she is so giving and just a joy to have as a friend.
her photography is miles ahead of anything i have seen on here, and she is probably my most faved contact, as i can't help but fave every second photo.. if not every single one! :)
love your work babe xox ♥ donna :)"8th June, 2008

Dougson says:
"sosij's photostream was one of the first I latched onto when I began with Flickr last year. Her work is entertaining and thought provoking. It full of honest emotion, cheekiness, sensuality and a whacking good doses of wit and humour. I feared she'd be less prolific at the end of her 365 project but, happily that's not the case. She continues to be a challenging, restless, prolific artist plus a good friend to "Flickrati" within her sphere.
Bottom line, whenever I see the striped leggings come out I know it's going to be a good day."15th February, 2008

"Sosij's wonderful photostream reveals a personality that is witty, fun-loving, honest and sensitive. Her creativity seems boundless and I know I'm in for a treat whenever she posts something new. I'm so glad to number her among my contacts!"

"Sosij has one of the most entertaining photostreams I have encountered on flickr. Everyday of her 365 project there is something fresh and original, covering a vast range of themes. From the very funny to serious, taking in cute, adventurous and thought provoking along the way. Whether she is doing handstands in fields of Lavender or photo-shopping herself into iTunes, her work is superbly photographed with great attention to detail.
Not only can she take top photos she is a great flickr friend too, always posting back on other's streams and answering comments on her own.
So looking forward to seeing what she is cooking up for 2008."25th December, 2007

""I like Sosij" (A LOT)
:-)
*edit* I came to edit this testimonial because since writing it I've gotten to know more of this wonderful woman through her commentary and inspired imagery. However, making the jumbled rush of feeling I have for this woman cohesive is no easy task.
I think I'll edit to...
I love sosij, (A LOT)"30th September, 2007

naughtonlucy says:
"I stumbled upon Sosij's photostream early on in my Flickr life. I particularly remember her shot of an abandoned label someone had dropped in a gutter - This seemingly insignificant scrap was so sharply observed and then so sensitively presented I thought this woman is worth watching, and she was! Sosij's work, in addition to being being photographically superb, delicate, sensual and honest is inspiring, witty, thought provoking and a must-look photostream. She encouraged me to join the 365 days project and although I may play truant every so often it has been the greatest way to regularly keep thinking creatively. If ever I find myself lacking in enthusiasm creatively or indeed generally her photostream is the greatest kick up the arse I could ever need!"

Anoxin says:
"Sosij's photostreams seem to contain some interesting themes. My favourite is the where she takes pictures of items in some kind of bunch. For instance a selection of spices laid out on a market stall, or bagels piled up against a shop window.
She manages to see interesting photographs in ‘ordinary’ objects and here she particularly shines when capturing textures.
She also seems to enjoy taking photographs of ‘ends’ of objects - an example of how she sees something interesting in everyday objects.
She also knows her way around a camera. I was present when she took her poker game pictures and she made some interesting compositions under some dull lighting conditions.
Sosij is a very friendly contact, always being positive when viewing other people’s photographs. She is also interactive with people who comment on her work and thanks people for their comments."24th October, 2006
