Laura Pannack's art focuses on social documentary and portraiture, and seeks to explore the complex relationship between subject and photographer. She is driven by research led, self-initiated projects that push her both as an artist and as an individual. She needs to question what she doesn't understands and gain access to worlds closed off to her. She is drawn to adventure, and wants to roam and play with the limitations and dynamics of photography as an art and as an act. She largely shoots on analogue film allowing the process to be organic rather than being predefined by fixed ideas, thus removing additional pressure on the sitter. She tries to understand the lives of those she captures, and to present them creatively. She's a firm believer that time, trust and understanding is the key to portraying subjects truthfully, as such, many of her projects develop over several years. This particular approach allows a genuine connection to exist between sitter and photographer, which in turn elucidates the intimacy of these very human exchanges. Her images aim to suggest the shared ideas and experiences that are entwined in each frame that she shoots. Her work aims to tell and inspire stories and she wants to connect and emotionally engage with viewers.
