"to look at Sunny Shokrae's photographs is like unearthing old 35mm film footage of precious loved ones and parties long gone, matched entirely with the present zeitgeist -- she is nostalgic for the now, for all its complex nuances. Her work is like a prolific series of epiphanies, each pointing out the secret charm of her subjects, unbeknownst to themselves. Even when shooting on the go, her paired composition and saturation style makes a fleeting moment feel incredibly defined. She brings life to the grittiest of urban or natural environments with a sensitivity to color compliments and enigmatic moods, ranging from pensive to ecstatic. Her work is made from, and for, a new global community, celebrating the lovers of beauty, the kind at heart, and the debaucherous in spirit."
