This is Sara Mally.
I had seen Sara’s photography and was a fan, vaguely aware of her personality. But the Real Love Boat BTS made me genuinely curious who this person was behind the camera. Sara looked so happy—and somehow everyone around her did too.
Then I got lucky.
Sara sat at my table for portfolio reviews at NYCFotoWorks, and we spent twenty minutes talking, trading stories, laughing. She left me with a wooden sketchbook she hand-built, stories about images she’d carefully crafted, and something more valuable than either of those: she left me feeling joy.
Sara really sees people.
She stops and takes the time to truly see who they are, and in that pause if you give yourself the gift to know her in return, you get to have an experience with her-of shared art and laughter. I love the adventure of being her agent, and feel incredibly fortunate to represent artists like Sara. If you aren’t familiar with her work, like her, it’s worth spending time with.
