Moody memories, intimate moments and instants full of love. Lauren Field is a twenty year old photographer and writer from Portland currently living in New York City.
What is the essence of being an artist for you?
Finding the line between the soul and something divine.
And where does your passion for photography come from?
The desire to create life affirming and deeply moving images.
What moments of your life do you wish you could hold onto for more than just an instant?
Every moment with everyone I love.
A beautiful image is?
One that momentarily overwhelms you and lingers for long after: the passage in One Hundred Years Of Solitude where Colonel Aureliano Buendia was taken to discover ice, the painting A Portrait of A Young Woman by Villers, two figures standing on a cliff, struck by the blue fog over the Oregon Coast and the dripping forest at their backs, with trees cumming sweet sap.
What camera(s) do you use?
I work mostly in medium format film (Mamiya 645)
Your work is very sensual and calm. How would you describe your own work?
Moody and intimate.
What makes you laugh?
The web series High Maintenance. So funny.
Instagram or Facebook?
I don’t have a Facebook. So I guess Instagram? Ugh. You can follow me @lolo.field
Which artists inspire you?
Virginia Woolf, Waxahatchee, Cassatt, Margaret Durow, and my dear friend Molly Walls, my muse and creative partner.
What are your morals for your life and your world?
Happy Everything.
Where can we find you on a Friday night in New York?
At the east village bar Barber Shop, until I got kicked out…
What’s your song of the week…?
