Lauren took her first photography class at summer camp when she was 14. She started her career in the music industry shooting and documenting the punk music scene of Manhattan’s Lower East Side. After moving to the Bay Area in 1996, she devoted herself full time to photography, earning a BFA from California College of the Arts and eventually opening her own studio. Like all photojournalists, she dedicates herself to finding beauty in reality, and her fresh, straightforward style has garnered awards on both coasts. She currently resides in Oakland.
