Laura Turner Photography

Photography – Philadelphia

my name is laura and i am a young artist born and raised in the suburbs of the city of brotherly love. when i'm not out shooting, traveling, or spending hours in front of my computer editing, i'm a dog mom to the most adorable maltese pup named oliver, an active athlete and former rower, and a chronic netflix binger. i was put on this earth with a desire to create, using photography, writing, painting, crafting and music as my outlets. i graduated from temple university (go owls!) in 2016 with a bachelors degree in english, but because my true passion is photography, i decided to take a leap of faith and start my own business to pursue my dreams of being a professional full-time photographer. i shoot all types of photography, but i have a passion for capturing people and their natural, honest emotions and working with others who embody a love of photography and the arts. growing up, i was always that girl with a camera, whether it was a disposable camera or one of those little compact digital cameras from the 2000's; i always had a desire to capture moments of my life that i could remember forever. when i was 15 years old, i found my parents' old film camera in the attic and have been in love with the art of photography ever since. shortly after, i bought my first dslr - a canon rebel xs - and carried it around with me everywhere, from all of my classes in high school to my rowing regatta's on weekends. i am primarily a self-taught photographer, excluding a digital photography class i took in tenth grade where i learned photoshop, an online history of photography class where i learned about famous photographers and created projects inspired by them, and a black and white film photography class where i developed and printed by own photos in a darkroom.
