Laura Van Severen

Hi, I’m a freelance photographer based in Barcelona (Spain). In my work I explore the landscape and through it, everything else. 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.

I’m available for assignments and collaborations. 
Visit CUARTO for my commercial work.
