Sonja Braas

Sonja Braas is a German-born photographer known for her large-scale images depicting dramatic natural phenomena such as storms, avalanches, floods, and volcanic eruptions. Her meticulously constructed photographs blur the line between the real and the artificial, as many of her works are elaborate studio fabrications that mimic sublime natural forces. Her practice explores themes of nature's power, human vulnerability, and the tension between the awe-inspiring and the terrifying.
