New York born and bred, Lauren Lepore is a self-taught photographer capturing natural moments of her hometown with 35mm film. Prefering to shoot strangers, both posed and candidly, Lepore’s selection of authentic imagery shows off a raw view of the world and the youth culture shaping the future. By never faltering to photograph exactly what she appreciates, her audience feels connected to her work through real emotion.
