Bio
Laure Dunne
Laure Dunne has had a passion for fine art, design & photography throughout her career and received a BFA at Indiana University/Bloomington in the areas of design and photography. She honed her photographic capabilities at NYU & at the International Center of Photography in New York City. After decades behind the camera, she is an accomplished photographer in color and black & white and she has photographed various themes throughout Nicaragua, Provence, Lithuania, Canada, and the United States.
My background as a designer has a significant effect on the composition of my photos and has helped me understand the nuances of balance and light. At times I see symmetry or graphic elements that motivate and influence the many choices I make behind the camera. My skill as a photographer is the culmination of a career steeped in visual elements that have inspired my passion for creative photographic images. I focus on exquisite forms in nature or on mundane man-made objects that inspire creative expression. It is my goal to use my talent as a photographer to capture and print each photo with an artistic result that provokes a viewer to have an interest in why a particular scene or detail was important to me.
