As a child Laura had an interest in creating and crafting. Her favorite tools? A hammer, a sewing machine and a camera. She received her first camera at the age of five and soon after learned how photographs were created.. The magic of watching an image appear onto a blank piece of paper still fascinates her today. For over a decade Laura has taken classes and workshops at PhotoCentral in Hayward. She obtained a Certificate in Photography and is on staff directing their children's photography program. Laura has taken additional classes and workshops with Foothill College in Los Altos, and Chabot College in Hayward expanding upon her skills in color, black and white photography and darkroom processes. Her favorite classes were in hand coloring and digital photography. After leaving a "high tech" career, Laura now resides in the Gold Country of California. She is a successful photographer specializing in hand tinted black and white photographs. Laura says her favorite subjects have "a sense of place" and enjoys learning about the history of her subjects. Laura's style gives her subjects a magical timeless feeling. |
