Reviews:
Goroff ’s brilliantly original photos get at the heart of what it means to be human. Haunting and surprising, they do what the best art does they make us see and experience life differently, and in the truest way, one in which we cannot look away."
- Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of Pictures of You and Is This TomorrowI have known Sandy Goroff for nearly two decades. She’s always had a keen eye for the subtle – but telling – details of life. You can see it so clearly in her wonderful photographs."
- Anthony Mason, CBS NEWSA shout-out to longtime local publicist Sandra Goroff, who finally gets to hype something of her own. Goroff, who’s worked with the likes of Clive Cussler, Chris Van Allsburg, Maurice Sendak, Peter Guralnick, and Tracy Kidder, among others, has just published “Solitary Soul,” a book of photographs from around New England. "

- The Daily Basics, Lifestyle BlogFrom behind her camera, Sandra Goroff captures the essence of solitary souls - a girl walking barefoot on a foggy beach; a boy leaning against newspaper dispensers outside a diner. Her work has taken her through many forms of art, from teacher to literary publicist to photographer. After three decades promoting others, this Canton woman has gone from behind the scenes to front and center with publication of her first book, "Solitary Soul," a collection of what she calls "evocative" images.
