Laurent

Born and raised in Paris, France, Laurent only seriously became interested in photography in 2006; a-passion that eventually evolved into a full blown profession. Traveling around the globe frequently, Laurent has become known among portrait and contemporary for his stunning work with indigenous peoples. Laurent's friends know him as a quiet individual, with distant, almost hostile attitude towards the general public and mainstream media. Recently employed by National Geographic, the solitary traveler doesn't say much, but prefers for his work to speak for him.
