The Heroine’s Journey of Mercy Somoza:
What is the best thing that I love about my work? Exploring myself. It’s the best way to embody my inner world through photography, artworks, or crafts. This is my charisma.
What is my idea of perfect happiness? To see my wood house finished, near of the forest and to have there a horse, a goat, a raven, a wolf-dog and two cats. Then the happiness will come itself.
What is my greatest fear? Loosing the connection with Nature and our primordial roots.
What is the trait that I most deplore in myself? Words of a friend : „ You believe too much. „ ( in people, about people, about things, about life, etc ).
What is my greatest extravagance? Hmm… I have a house full of unusual and useless stuffs, and I still investing in them. But all these are part of me, ( so they are not so useless as my mom thinks ).
What is the think that I dislike the most in my work? To let go my creations. Even if I know that they will be in possession of wonderful people who enjoy my art, I’m very connected with all I do, and this is the reason why few things are still in my possession, I’m too attached by them.
What is my greatest achievement in my work? To understand that it’s not easy to live from what I do and not give up, but I believe it’s like rolling a stone, the beginning is always the hardest, and when you know that it can be a way of living, your path in live and you meet people who makes you happy.
When and where I was the happiest, in my work? I’m always happy when I have an idea in mind and I see after the final result who pleases me.
If I could, what would I change about myself? I’m not sure… Things are changing from within, maybe sometimes we don’t even notice it, and it happen in the best way.
What is my most inspirational location, in my city? The forest.
What is my favorite place to eat and drink, in my city? I think for me the most convenient place it’s at home, or somewhere in nature.
Who is my greatest fan, sponsor, partner in crime? For me it’s important every appreciation, every thought, every support.
Whom would I like to work with in the future? I tend to be a solitary soul, so I do things better alone, but i’m open to requests of photographers, models, designers etc.
What project, in the nearby future, I am looking forward to work on? I do not like to say to much about me, i like to do, so new ways of expressing my inner world and ides who don’t let me sleep at night, you will see.

Working with Mercy was a great experience! As a new band, we wanted to have some professional pictures taken that could reflect our style and our personality as well… Mercy couldn’t have done a better job, she picked the right spot and guided us (5 regular guys with no photography experience) through the whole shoot with outstanding results! Thanks Mercy, we are looking forward to do this again soon.

Mercy has a passion for photography ever since I’ve known her, that’s all she ever wanted to do. I’ve seen a lot of her photographs throughout these years and she’s an amazing artist. Whenever someone has an idea of a photo, she works with them and put in every thought detail to actually make their idea become real. That is what Mercy does. I saw a photo-shoot she had done and just fell in love with. I asked if it would be possible for us to do a photo-shoot and she agreed. She’s on schedule and she doesn’t waste anytime to get things done. She knew exactly what was on my mind when I asked her to photograph me. She captured the thoughts in my mind through the lens. I love working with her. Any event I have in the future I choose her to be my photographer with no questions asked.

I love working with Mercy, I always have a blast shooting with her. She is not just a photographer but an artist. Mercy also does not only take a photo, she creates a piece of art noticing even the smallest details. Mercy plans into the photo shoot sessions. She also works her schedule to fit with yours which is amazing to me. My favorite part about working with Mercy is that every single photo she takes is different. I cannot recommend mercy enough! Mercy, even did a photo-shoot with my little sister who is the shyest thing on the planet. She knew how to talk to my sister and help her pose. My sister had a blast working with Mercy and the photos came out amazing!
AGAIN I cannot recommend Mercy enough!

It’s essential that an artist can portray a unique and honest touch to their craft. It’s essential that the work of an artist can simply just speak to you weather is in sound or in vision. The art portrayed in photography is one of the most outspoken, honest and beautiful in the world… And rest assured she could easily make you witness that art in the most honest and beautiful of ways. Working with Mercy has been an incredible experience since the very beginning. Her eyes capture the natural beauty of her surroundings; it could be during the shiniest of days or even in the slightly dark passages of moonlight. My experience has been to this day so rewarding. My photos taken by her tell a story of its own scripted by her camera. And her work is not just satisfaction for me but also an inspiration. You can also experience an experience like mine. Do not hesitate in contact this talented woman. You will connect with her world and your photos will have the quality you always wanted. And please spread the word and let them know that lots of precious moments can be captured by her art… And rest assured you would have an A+ result.
