Sarah Soquel Morhaim is an artist & photographer living in Los Angeles. Her work explores questions about the nature of reality, existence, and the so-called unphotographable world through the lens of everyday life. She primarily makes unique photographic prints,
videos, and paintings. Her art work has exhibited at MOCA, Family, and O.N.O. Gallery in Los Angeles, and selections of her artist books are collected by the Artist Book Collection at the MoMA Library and received mention in the New York Times Style Magazine. Her editorial
photography has appeared in numerous publications including W, New York Magazine, and Jalouse, and her short films have screened at venues such as the Sundance Film Festival, AFI Fest, and Palm Springs International. Commercial clients include KENZO, Levis, and

“Sarah Soquel Morhaim, whose photography has so transcended traditional
ideas about taking pictures that it’s hard to call her a photographer at all.
Translating the photographic language to bookmaking, film, and music,
Morhaim has been creating work that touches on ideas of ritual and personal
behavior for nearly a decade in Los Angeles.”
