Hi I'm Laura. I'm an award-winning portrait, documentary, and lifestyle photographer based in London and available to travel anywhere. I specialise in real and emotive storytelling, and I love to capture personality, warmth, and authenticity.
I shoot on digital and film, with commissions spanning advertising, editorial, the arts, and activism. I have a very keen eye for detail and am particularly drawn to shoots where portraiture meets documentary; capturing moments, personality, places and things.
