I first found her work a few years ago and I have been a huge fan ever since following her on all possible social media outputs. I honestly have never seen her post a bad picture they all have so much depth and emotion within them. She has a real knack for post production so the images often have incredible colour pallets which carry the subject matter onto a whole new level.
Laura had a passion for photography but was studying architecture at university when I first started following her work. However now she is a full time professional photographer with an architecture degree under her belt to match. She travels the world and does a lot of commissions for travel companies who want something a bit different for the campaigns. As well as doing personal projects like the 1000 strangers project or 52 week challenges. As I said previously I adore all of her work but sometimes there is something just that extra bit special about the mood of certain images.
These were all taken on trips to the USA with a group of photographers but the peace that they convey really inspired me. The solitude and silence of these images really spoke to me and have remained something I think about often.
This winter I was lucky Enough to find a day when I could get to the beach and try and recreate the mood that these images evoke. It was a freezing day and on a British beach there was not the same solitude. It turns out dog walkers are very nosy and have very high opinions as to what a 'young lady' should and shouldn't be doing in December. But it was a lot of fun and worth the hassle to even attempt to recreate this aesthetic.
We all need to dance in the waves every once in a while don't we?
