Laura Cutmore
Profile
My name is Laura Cutmore.
I’m 22 years old and have recently finished my foundation degree in photography at Plymouth College of Art. I spent two of the best years of my life there, and am sadly missing it and the constant bombardment of new techniques and skills I learnt. As much as I now miss it, I am also relishing the new found freedom to shoot any subject I choose, and am having great fun in starting to show others my images. I recently took part in a local christmas fair and was truly humbled by the wonderful things people had to say about my work, and pleasantly surprised to actually sell a few pieces. Thanks to all that participated in my great weekend.
For a while I haven’t really had any specialism or favourite subject regarding my photography. Recently I’ve become more interested in abstract landscape work, but I am then usually drawn back into beautiful studio portraiture. The more I experiment with, the quicker my photography passion grows. I can’t imagine doing anything else anymore.
I work with pretty much anything you give me. I own a Nikon D40x which is what I shoot the majority of my imagery on. I also have an unfortunate lomography obsession, so I own a Fisheye No.1, 35mm Holga, Actionsampler and a 3 lens robot camera. At some point I’ll invest in a 120 Holga and a Diana if I can afford it! I also like to play around with a Polaroid (when I can afford the film), and a crazy little german camera called a Beirette which I found at a car boot for a £1.
I would appreciate any comments and/or constructive criticism on my work as they can only help me get better. Thank you to those that do take the time to look and leave feedback and positive comments, it means a lot.
