Laura Van Severen
Hi, I’m a freelance photographer based in Barcelona (Spain). In my work I explore the landscape and the relationship we have with it. This has resulted in projects such as LAND, STRATA and El camp d’elles. Currently I’m investigating how sound impacts the landscape, the environment and living beings thanks to the Creación Injuve bursary.
visit CUARTO for my commercial work.
