Bio:
Lauren Welles is a freelance photographer and former corporate attorney who left an unfulfilling, 16-year career, to follow her passion for photography. She is attracted to ideas and stories that display our commonalities as people; she believes that, as human beings, we are much more alike than we are different. One of her greatest joys is to make candid photographs of people, in which a single frame can tell a multitude stories.
Her photography has received several awards and has been exhibited at various venues around the world, including: "The Fence" at Photoville, the Museum of the City of New York; Arsenal Gallery Central Park, The Half King Photo Series, and Coolture Impact’s interactive exhibit in Times Square/Port Authority, all in New York City; HistoryMiami Museum; HeadOn Photo Festival, Sydney, Australia; and Gudberg Nerger Gallery, Hamburg, Germany. Her work and interviews have been published in various publications, including the New York Times; La Repubblica, CBS News, The New Yorker, Slate Magazine, Clavoardiendo, Spain, and various street photography books.
In addition to being a Leica Akademie instructor, Lauren teaches photography to high school students from underserved communities at the NYC SALT program in New York City.
