HELLO THERE

I'm Lauren

Lauren

An experienced LA-based photographer, producer, and director. I am a creative thinker with a passion for the human condition.  I often shoot portraiture for musicians and artists as well as editorial, personal branding, family, and weddings!  

My notable achievements include my role as a Creative and Senior Producer for "#Show Us," a project by GirlgazeDove, and Getty Images. This international campaign led to Getty Images' largest stock image acquisition - over 5,000 images. We sourced 116 female & nonbinary photographers across 39 countries with a total of 179 individual shoots worldwide. 

Winner of the Cannes Silver 2020 Global Effie

As a portrait and reportage photographer, I am equally intrigued by subtle moments as I am by significant life events. A storyteller at heart, I believe in photography's power to connect us deeply to our narratives, reminding us of our personal stories, whether the subjects are familiar or unknown.

encounters

When someone catches my eye, I try to capture their brilliance. There’s an exchange of trust as soon as my shutter clicks. 

BESTIES

Venice Beach, California

Found these ladies while I was on a shoot for Vice. They're so striking– one of them turned out to be DJ Bella Ferrada!

BEST SMILE

Sunset Strip Los Angeles

So beautiful and bright I stopped my car and ran across Sunset Blvd in morning rush hour to catch him!

This could be a short statement about the experience of photographing strangers, their willingness to be seen, and your ability to capture them in a brief encounter.
