Through photography, Lauren aims to capture the authentic experience of the self as it relates to a greater societal construct. While many of her photographs are self-portraits, she is not the subject, but rather a medium embodying the most private aspect of ourselves.
Using the body, perspective and gesture to comment on femininity, identity, and intimacy, her self-portraits act as a mirror that encourages the viewer to behold oneself, confronting the "I" that feels the most primal and urgent, yet often deeply buried in the day to day.
Lauren was born and raised in Queens, New York. She studied photography at The School of Visual Arts in NYC. She currently lives in Los Angeles, CA with her son, West.
