Laura Sainz

Hi, I'm Laura

I'm from Spain, though I've spent the last ten years living abroad. These days I'm based in Ericeira, a little town near Lisbon. Photography started as a hobby and slowly took over. Now I shoot on both film and digital, working with brands, musicians and people who just want to feel like themselves in front of the camera. I've always been drawn to film, because it looks more like the way memories live in our heads, rather than the perfect pictures we can all take on our phones now, nothing wrong with those! I love taking photos with my phone too. I like natural light, unposed pictures, and the everyday moments we should be grateful for. I love vibrant colours and the life a photo can hold, even when it's completely still. When an image works, you can almost hear it.

I've photographed all sorts of things, from surf and company teams to product campaigns and bands playing live. And whenever I can, I travel with my camera. That's where the prints you can take home come from.
