Lauren, Localgrapher in New York City

Style:

My style is natural and beautiful. I strive to capture the moments unseen by the naked eye. I take very seriously the idea of the optical unconscious. I believe I can capture the true emotions of a moment with my camera. I want to be with my clients in the moment but not interrupting – just there to capture the natural mood and energy. I am here to deliver what my clients want and I am happy to adjust my style and editing to their needs.

Likes:

I love Harry Potter and have the tattoo to prove it. I really enjoy the 20th of every month because when I write the date it says the year. When the passenger in a car I love when we go over hills and I get that little “whoop” feeling in my stomach.

Recommended places:

I think DUMBO is a wonderful place to get that NYC feel – you have the beautiful brick buildings and architecture surrounding you with the breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline, water, and bridges behind you. Going around Manhattan to some of the big spots like Times Square, Washington Square Park, Central Park, even to the top of the Empire State Building or Rockefeller Center will accomplish those perfect “I was here” moments. Coney Island offers some fantastic old school classic NYC backdrops. Plus if we go early you can grab some beautiful sunrise shots on the beach! Going around lower Manhattan to Wall Street, the 9/11 memorial, China Town, Little Italy or up to the top of The Freedom Tower – even a ride on the free Staten Island ferry would give some great opportunity for old school New York or the backdrop of a unique view of the skyline. I am happy to travel anywhere in the five boroughs! If you’re a big sports fan we could hit up a Yankees or Mets game. In Central Park we can go out on a row boat and take some shots in front of the iconic Bethesda Fountain. NYC has an unlimited amount of options to choose from depending on the feel you’re going for. I am thrilled to collaborate and find the perfect spot for you!
