I’m Lara, a photographer based in East London, uk. I shoot live music & portraits.
For 10 years, I 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 human in a big way too: Authenticity, artistry, spontaneity, emotion, connection… So I decided to take what I’d learned from my years of design and editing, pick up a camera and go find it.
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 editorial work 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, anything with grain, lo-fi textures, “bad” lighting, motion blur, and human emotion. I like to take interesting shots that make you want to look again over ones that are technically perfect.
Visual influences at the moment include Pennie Smith, Wong Kar Wai/Chris Doyle, and Greg Noire.
