5 questions for Sara Tro.


Who is your perfect client?
My perfect client is pretty much anyone looking for something a little different in a photo session, or photographs of their family. I aim to produce artistic, emotional and honest portraits, and so I love working with people who crave a little more beneath the surface of the picture. I am drawn to beautiful things, but also the odd, quirky, unique qualities that make all of us special. I also love people and animals in general, so I really enjoy getting to photograph a family or a subject more than once.. It's so great to get to know someone so well through my lens.
What is your passion?
I have many passions, but here are some of my favorites :) I love laughing, so I'm passionate about anything that makes me laugh. I love art and all things aesthetic, and so I'm passionate about things that inspire me visually.. it could be a rusty shovel, a special quality of light, a painting or a person/animal.. so many things catch my attention and beg to be photographed or just remembered. I am passionate about music, food, animals, nature and weather.
I would say that my main passion in life is connection, and creating.. I love sharing both with friends, family, clients and just about anyone I share this planet with!
Where did you grow up?
I grew up in New York State, near NYC, in a town called Hastings-on-Hudson near the Hudson River. It was a great place to grow up! Being surrounded by safety and a small town vibe, and also the culture and pace of Manhattan, gave me a sense of two worlds, both of which I love.
What was your favorite job?
It may sound crazy, but I worked at a great restaurant in high school and college and that was my favorite job. The people I worked with were great, we spent many of the hours at work laughing and having fun, and I learned so much about myself, people, and wine :) It was also my first real job that I got on my own, and it gave me a real sense of Independence. During college summers, i also worked for my father at his textile design firm, and I really enjoyed that too. Working with him, and working on colors all day, really taught me alot and I loved being in NYC. The energy and pace was inspiring.
Tell us something no one knows about you?
Hmmm.. Since I was little, I have always loved things that are old or vintage. While my brother was asking for RayBan's for Christmas, I wanted rusty train track ties or old wall paper scraps to make art with. I have several small collections of odd, interesting things.
