About Artist

Lauren Hooper

Lauren Hooper is a photographer and visual storyteller based in Queensland, Australia. Through her lens, she captures raw, quiet moments — whether it's golden light spilling through leaves, the curve of a sleeping seal, or the deep emotion between people. With a deep love for the outdoors and all things wild, Lauren's work is shaped by the natural world and her passion for documenting its quiet, fleeting beauty. Growing up around cameras — inspired by her grandfather’s film photography — Lauren developed an early connection to visual storytelling. Currently completing a diploma in photography, she continues to refine her craft, driven by a desire to tell meaningful stories through stillness, shadow, and the subtleties of the natural world.
