about
Laura Pannack

Laura Pannack is a London-based photographic artist. Renowned for her portraiture and social documentary work, she explores the complex relationship between sitter and photographer. Many of her projects focus on youth and time, often working with adolescents and blending her passion for psychology and creativity through collaborations with various practitioners and academics. 

Believing in a process rooted in shared experience, Laura uses the camera as a bridge, approaching her sitters with curiosity, openness, and a desire for genuine connection.  

Driven by research-led, self-initiated projects, Laura seeks to grow both artistically and personally. Her long-term projects evolve organically, allowing narratives to develop naturally. By predominantly shooting on analogue film, she embraces unpredictability, inviting chance and fate into her creative process.
