Sophia Rivera-Korver, a digital photographer based in New York City and a student at NYU Tisch.

​​

This summer (2025), I worked as a Production Assistant in the photography department at Forbes Media, supporting set workflows and assisting the creative director as needed. Most recently, I transferred from Fordham University's New Media & Digital Design program to NYU's Interactive Media Arts (IMA) major to broaden my opportunities and skillsets. 

​​

I grew up in the Bay Area, and my first exposure to photography as an art form was at The Girls' Middle School in Palo Alto, CA. I went on to complete four years of photography courses (both film and digital) and worked in a darkroom for two years in high school. At Fordham University, I served as a Global Ambassador for the Study Abroad Office, where I documented my experience in a Documentary Photography class in Rome. Furthermore, I directed eight fashion shoots, each featuring two to six models, for Fordham’s MODE Magazine club.

I am thrilled about my new journey in the IMA program and would love to meet up with fellow NYU students or photographers in the city!
