“Photography first captured my heart when I discovered the work of Cartier-Bresson. The concept of shape, form and light and freezing a moment in time. However, an early introduction to Cindy Sherman’s ‘Untitled film stills’ inspired a whole new level of creating; sparking my passion for storytelling & staged sets.”
Laura Antonia Abbott is a British Fine Art and Conceptual Photographer whose lived experiences across five continents shapes a practice where creativity and intuitive healing meet. Influenced by photographers such as Guy Bourdin, Tim Walker, and Anna Gaskell, and guided by her work as an Usui Reiki Master, Laura crafts surrealist dreamscapes that bridge boundaries between inner worlds and lived reality. Her imagery drifts through themes of female identity, psychological landscapes, and our fragile communion with the natural world.
Infused with the principles of healing, transformation, and inner truth, Laura weaves a quiet mysticism through her visual language. Each story is created on location with rich colour, found objects, and handmade recycled props, allowing symbolic depth and sustainable creation to shape the stories she unravels.
Laura completed her photographic studies at Chelsea College of Art & Design, Nottingham Trent University in the UK, and Bellas Artes in Spain. A multi–award-winning artist, her work has been recognised internationally and exhibited across Europe.
