The photographer

Laura May

A classical eye drawn to fine art, and a lifelong love of animals and the people who adore them.

A woman and her horse, the kind of bond Laura loves to photograph

Classical Literature, Goldsmiths, University of London

Laura read Classical Literature at Goldsmiths, University of London, where a long-held love of photography grew in the hours she spent in the university’s fine-art exhibitions. That classical sensibility still shapes how she sees.

She grew up with horses, dogs and animals of her own, and has a real gift for catching the quiet bond between animals and the people who love them. She believes a companion deserves to be kept in a photograph forever.

These days Laura photographs full time: weddings, family gatherings, portraits and the moments in between, always in low, soft light and never in a hurry.
