Laura Hendricks is a photographic collage artist. In her work she combines parts of her own images to create surreal landscapes and scenery.
Laura started out as a hobby nature/landscape photographer, but has always been interested in graphic design and painting. Her dreamy collage work is her way of creating imagery that is influenced by those other art mediums.
How would you describe your photography to someone who has never seen it?
Dreamlike landscapes. Places that seem other-worldly but familiar at the same time.
A familiar photograph makes a good photograph. Photography allows us to view captured moments that are similar to ones we’ve read about, dreamed about, talked about, thought about, etc. Even if we haven’t seen similar moments with our own eyes, good photography always seems somewhat relatable.
Minimalism, simplicity, music, and design. I love having the things that inspire me creatively influence the way I take pictures. I think about what music would be playing if my photo had sound. What font and text would a graphic designer assign to my images?
It’s opening up more options of how we create digital marketing, advertising, art, etc. Photography is used as a tool or art form so widely now- it can send a message as easily as any other method in this digital era.
