Sophia McTaggart is a North London–based photographer and filmmaker working across actor headshots, theatre and film unit stills/BTS. Her practice spans both still and moving image, with a focus on performance-led storytelling and creating visually cohesive worlds on and off screen.

With a background rooted in backstage environments, Sophia brings an intuitive understanding of actors, sets and the rhythm of production. She is known for building a strong rapport with her subjects, capturing work that feels intimate, natural and emotionally grounded—whether in a single frame or across a moving narrative.

Alongside her photography, Sophia is developing film work that explores the space between reality and performance, with a particular interest in character, transformation and atmosphere. Her work is driven by a cinematic sensibility, often blurring the boundaries between observation and constructed storytelling.

Her experience within theatre and on-set environments makes her a collaborative and unobtrusive presence, able to move fluidly between departments while maintaining a strong visual perspective.
