Laura is a documentary photographer, filmmaker and researcher, currently based between southern Arizona and the VA/DC area. In 2011, she graduated with distinction from the Documentary Photography & Photojournalism Masters Program at The London College of Communication. Her work is deeply focused on social issues, specifically exploring themes related to immigration, border industry and it's impact on community.
