About Laura Pannack

My art focuses on social documentary and portraiture and seeks to explore the complex relationship between subject and photographer.

I am driven by research led self-initiated projects that push me both as an artist and as an individual.

I largely shoot on analogue film allowing the process to be organic rather than being predefined by fixed ideas, thus removing additional pressure on the sitter.

I try to understand the lives of those I capture and to present them creatively. I am a firm believer that time, trust and understanding is the key to portraying subjects truthfully, and therefore many of my projects develop over several years.

This particular approach allows a genuine connection to exist between sitter and photographer, which in turn elucidate the intimacy of these very human exchanges.

My work aims to tell and inspire stories. I want to connect and emotionally engage with you.
