Meet Sophie Gohr

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Sophie Gohr. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Sophie, we are so happy that our community is going to have a chance to learn more about you, your story and hopefully even take in some of the lessons you’ve learned along the way. Let’s start with self-care – what do you do for self-care and has it had any impact on your effectiveness?

For self-care, I try to spend as much time in nature as possible—it really helps me recharge and stay grounded. I’ve realized how essential that connection is for my energy and overall well-being.

When I’m not prepping for a movie or commercial, I make it a priority to spend quality time with family and friends. I also love relaxing through surfing or diving—being in the water is both calming and invigorating for me.

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

Art, for me, is about connection—emotional, visual, and deeply human. As a cinematographer, I’m driven by a passion for crafting poetic, intentional imagery that elevates story and emotion and I strive to create a unique visual language for every project.

Originally from a small fishing town in Denmark, I was raised around art and developed an early fascination with storytelling through visuals. Today, my work focuses on projects that feel honest and purposeful—stories that explore isolation, grief, and resilience, while also championing sustainability and connection to nature.

Currently, I’m working on my 3rd feature as Director of Photography and gearing up to shoot Hybrid with director Stuart Davis. I’m excited to keep exploring bold, emotional narratives through a cinematic lens that feels both personal and resonant.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Looking back, the three most impactful qualities in my journey have been emotional intuition, visual storytelling, and collaborative sensitivity. Cinematography is about more than technique—it’s about feeling, connection, and being present. Trusting my emotional instincts has helped me shape honest, resonant imagery.

Developing a strong eye for visual storytelling came through study, experimentation, and observing the world. But perhaps most importantly, learning to truly collaborate—listening deeply and aligning with a director’s vision—has made the biggest difference.

My advice: nurture your craft, but also live fully. Spend time with friends and family, travel, explore, and stay connected to the world. The richness of life is what fuels meaningful art.

Any advice for folks feeling overwhelmed?

For me, it’s undeniable to feel overwhelmed and scared when starting a new project—I think everyone feels the pressure to do well. I remind myself that this is normal, so I prepare as best as I can and then trust myself to do my best. When overwhelmed, I break the work into smaller steps and focus on the process. Giving myself a moment to reflect helps me regain clarity and confidence.
