About Laura Ward

I am a photographer based in South London. After teaching myself photography aged 15 I spent my youth travelling through and living in numerous cities in England and Germany. The daughter of second-generation German and Polish parents, my love for photographs in record sleeves formed the basis of my nostalgic and quirky style. I am a full-time charity professional and I enjoy steam trains, drinking tea and making playlists. I am a proud member of Effra FC.
