Inspired by early social documentary and portrait Photography dating back to the Victorian pioneers, Laura Alice Hart's deliberate and careful work consistently captures the very essence of her subject's character. Laura's typical work takes the form of ethereal portraiture and atmospheric photo stories. Shooting for publications ranging from the Sunday Telegraph to Vanidad, and Drama Magazine, her pictures adopt captivating narratives in which the subject is playing a part in their own fantasy.

Laura studied photography to degree level at the University of Wales College Newport, completing her post-graduate work at Central Saint Martins. Working extensively in fashion, she has been sought to shoot the brightest new stars of the performing arts, working with thespians such as Andrea Riseborough, Eddie Redmayne and Juno Temple to name but a few. In these series Laura manages to combine portraiture and narrative, allowing the actors to immerse themselves in the story whilst their own character remains imperative to the process. In her own words, Laura's aim is to 'engage the voyeur and transport them to another place and time’.
