From Los Angeles, California, to Vienna, Austria -and heaps of addresses in between- I live with active curiosity for the arts & humanities, including psychology, languages, sociology and geography.
“Cameras come and go. Areas of interest evolve, but photography remains a force for expression as I make my way through this rich layer-cake of life.”
Hi, I’m Laura
ART PHOTOGRAPHER, EXPLORER, JOY ENTHUSIAST
I’m a fine art photographer born and raised in Los Angeles, California, now living my expat dream in Vienna, Austria.
My early years were filled with a lot of freedom - especially as compared to today’s standards. I got my first camera at 8 years old and was immediately drawn to recording my world.
To this day I have snapshots from the 1970s of houses in the neighborhood, our family cat Dave, my Granny Agnes with tinsel in her hair, friends on the playground at school, even pictures of pics in books - so meta.
In a life punctuated by heaps of change, photography is my throughline.
The appeal of photography endures because there’s always another spark to discover. Ideas gain momentum- sometimes even leapfrog -and I find that I keep coming back to do more .
In addition to holding liberal arts and computer science degrees, I earned a Certificate in General Studies at the International Center of Photography (ICP) in New York City.
I also attend seminars and creative workshops as much as I can. Cross-pollinating with people of the same ilk, where ideas and connections have an opportunity to spark is incredibly rewarding.
