Laura is renowned for her portraiture and social documentary work. Human vulnerability and honesty are at the forefront of her practice, driven by research and connection with those she photographs. Laura’s projects often develop over several years, as she seeks to build trust and gain understanding of those she captures, largely choosing analogue film to allow for a more organic process.

Laura said: “I believe images need to captivate and evoke emotion, and so, with every frame I shoot, I consider the elements within the frame and outside it.”
