Professional Photographer in Ottawa — Sofi Gapon
I am a professional photographer in Ottawa, creating cinematic portraits and visual stories for women, individuals, couples, and brands.
With over 7 years of experience, I create expressive, aesthetic, and thoughtfully crafted images with a creative, editorial approach, helping my clients feel confidence, beauty, and their value.
My work has been published internationally, including Harper’s Bazaar (Vietnam), Style Cruze (Japan), Vous (Italy), Scorpio Jin (USA), Bold&Beyond (UK), and has been featured on a Billboard at Times Square in New York City.
I am also the author of creative photography projects for women in Ottawa — Goddess You as Art and Goddess for You, aimed at revealing femininity, inner strength, and the freedom to be yourself through imagery, lighting, atmosphere, and aesthetics.
In addition to photography, I have experience teaching posing at the modeling agency Model Point Group. I continue to share my knowledge of posing with professional models and anyone who wants to feel confident and beautiful in front of the camera.
I also offer individual photography lessons in Ottawa, helping beginners build a career in the photography field.
If you are looking for a professional photographer in Ottawa who combines a creative approach, international experience, and a refined sense of aesthetics, I would be delighted to work with you.

What I give to my clients:
ORGINIZING
I take responsibility for arranging the photo shoot. I will help with the choice of locations, clothes, attributes, find contractors, take care of your comfort at the photo shoot. My clients write about this in the section "Reviews" which are at the top of the website.
QUALITY
All photos I do on a professional camera Canon EOS R. Also, I know how to work with different professional lighting to obtain quality photos. All photos are deeply processed before they are transferred to customers: selection, cropping, color correction, and retouching.
REASONABLE PRICE
The cost of all services is the optimal ratio of price, quality and time invested for a photo shoot.
By my rough estimate, I have 13 hours of work to do one hour of shooting. Including all stages: preparation, photo shoot, and photo processing.
SPEED
I don’t foce my clients to wait two months for the photos. I will need 1-2 weeks (depending on the complexity of the order) to complete the order, without loss of quality.
HELP WITH POSING
I have experience as a teacher at a modeling school where I taught people of different ages how to pose. With these skills, I can show my clients how easy it is to pose for a photo shoot.
POSITIVE EMOTIONS
On a photo shoot to atmospheric music my customers can look at themselves from the other side, love themselves and their unique features, to realize the most daring ideas and fantasies, relax and get positive emotions, which will bring more energy to realize the desired!
