Sophie Winqvist Loggins is a Swedish cinematographer living in Österlen, Copenhagen and Bombay. She has also lived in France, Cuba, the USA and speaks several languages. Apart from attending the internationally renowned National Film School of Denmark, she has a university degree in art history and has studied gender and postcolonial theories. Her first feature film was a commercial Bollywood horror flick, which is something that few – if any – western women directors of photography have taken on. Her second feature was a Swedish sc-fi shot on location. The diverse background is reflected in her work on many levels. She says she uses her camera to hold on to the spirit of childhood games and fantasies. Play knows no boundaries and she moves effortlessly between documentaries, stills, commercials and feature films. Genre lacks importance when you’re inside a story.
