I’m Lara, a photographer based in East London, uk. I shoot live music & portraits.
For 10 years, I have built a business locked to a computer designing book covers, websites, and branding. When AI entered my job in a big way, I began to crave something more authentic. Photography felt like the answer to what I’d been missing: The chance to document moments, experience live music in a whole new way, and connect and collaborate with other creatives.
My Goals
I’m currently building a body of work focused on bands and solo artists, gig coverage, and festivals but I’m also open to any project that feels like a good fit.
My long-term goal is to document a full tour for a rock / indie / alternative band and shoot Glastonbury.
I’m currently growing my portfolio, shooting in and around London, Hong Kong and Perth, Australia.
My Style
I’m drawn to images that feel a little bit cinematic, filmic, with lo-fi textures, “bad” lighting, motion blur, and emotion. I’ll always pick an interesting shot that makes you want to look again over a technically perfect one.
Visual influences at the moment include Pennie Smith, Wong Kar Wai/Chris Doyle, and Karel Chladek.
