I Was Here Too - Leaving a Legacy for my Children with Laura Wood
Join Photographers Without Borders as we discuss leaving a legacy and finding your creative voice on this episode of Storytelling for Change.
Laura Wood is a photographer and educator based in South Yorkshire. She is mum to two young boys with motherhood and daily life inspiring much of her photography. Laura finds catharsis through self-portraiture by taking feelings and emotions out of head and heart and holding a mirror up to herself by way of the camera. This process has given her a tangible way of dealing with everything from sleep deprivation, depression and anxiety to overwhelming love and gratitude. This outpouring of feelings into art has connected her with photographers around the world who share her experiences. These connections told Laura there was a need for further equality and for marginalised gender's voices to be heard more loudly in the industry, so she co-founded a photography community, Phlock Live, with her sister Sarah. Laura is dedicated to elevating the position of photographers - committed to encouraging artists to find their voice and letting it speak loudly through their art. Laura is a firm believer that finding our creative voice is simple when we strip away expectation, pressure and focus solely on instinct, impulse and freedom. Join us for what is sure to be a moving talk about leaving a legacy with storytelling.
