Angela Lewis lives in Toronto where she focuses on storytelling and portraiture photography. She's always attuned to light's unique ability to reveal something new and unexpected in a scene. Angela's personal work is family-oriented, investigating the connections and disconnections between family members over time.
In 2016, she co-founded the photography collective SOFIA, which created a space for aspiring and working women photographers to make and discuss personal projects. Angela currently mentors emerging BIPOC photo-based artists.
