Lauren Bessey (b. 2003) is an American-Australian photographer and creative director based between Naarm and New York City. Lauren focuses her work around the female gaze, queer identities, and the intersection between nature and self. She finds that creating art allows her to gain a greater understanding of herself and the situations surrounding her. Her love of the visually-pleasing, alongside tangible artworks, has shaped her methods and practice – she prefers analogue photography and self-published and printed books. Lauren also enjoys simply documenting her life and friends through photography and art.
Lauren is a rising senior at New York University, studying a BA in Global Liberal Studies with a concentration in Critical Creative Production, and minors in Integrated Design & Media and Studio Art. From living and learning in Melbourne, Florence, New York, and Berlin, Lauren’s work, thoughts, and processes have been shaped by a global perspective and passion for travel and culture.
Lauren is also skilled in video work and graphic design, and is open to collaboration, work, internships and other exciting opportunities within the creative industry. Please feel free to reach out and connect! <3
