LAURA REID is an art photographer whose practice focuses on her strong love of water, urban landscapes and coastal communities and was recently selected by Canon Australia as 1 of 10 Inspirational Female Photographers to follow.

Laura is a quiet observer and happily roams, camera in hand and in her swimming costume, capturing life along the Australian coastline. The beach is where she feels most grounded, relaxed and energised which translates into the joy that is often represented in her images. Her inclusion of lines, structures and strong composition are influenced by her professional life as a town planning consultant.

Laura has exhibited both nationally and internationally. She was a Finalist in the 2021 National Photographic Portrait Prize. Her first book “Aura” was awarded 3rd place at the International Photography Awards 2023.
