About 3 years ago I seriously discovered the fun of photography. It started rather innocent but right now it's part of every-day's life.
My photo's are very basic. I like to keep it plain and simple although I prefer a wonderful blur...
I try to show you everyday stuff in a slightly different way. I think my 'blue-period' is coming to its end. This doesn't mean I don't like blue anymore but I guess you will see other colours too in my latest work.

My name is Lauren Wuornos and I live within the perspective that we are only tourists. Our lives are only a fraction of a fraction of the time that has passed. The concept of time itself really interests me. Because of this, I feel I have a loyal duty to humanity. I am worried we will detach ourselves from the big picture (no pun intended) and live only within our shells because personally, the more addicted I get to technology, the more I want to abandon it.
I have to do something to change the world, and whatever that is, exactly, I believe I am capable of achieving. I aspire to collaborate within the creative workforce because to change anything at all, innovation is absolutely key. I am also a traveler at heart and an adventurer into the unknown.
All photos shared here were created in a single shot with no multiple exposures or layering techniques during the editing process. My shooting style is very much just observatory. I never move an object unless otherwise stated.
The act of physically taking each of these has become a quiet tool of meditation. When my eyes frantically scan the world I'm standing on for details in the patterns that strike me, I never feel more in the moment. It is my personal mental puzzle as well as an oasis from the city that sustains the joy I get from having the ability to capture a visual thousands of people pass each day and never notice, never admire or even acknowledge its existence. Life really is beautiful, you just have to open your eyes.
Das Leben ist bunt. Und so sind auch meine Bilder meist bunt und farbenfroh. Allerdings habe ich - wohl zum Ausgleich ;-) - auch ein Faible für das reduzierte, einfache und oft auch minimale von Schwarz-Weiß, Sepia, Duotone.
Meine Arbeiten entstehen aus digitalen Fotos, hin und wieder auch aus Scans und gelegentlich auch Illustrationen oder Computer-Grafiken. Ich verarbeite spontane Ideen, Anregungen aus der Natur und lasse mich auch gerne von anderen Kunstwerken inspirieren.
Meine Lieblingsmotive sind Blumen, Blüten, Pflanzen - auch sehr gerne die wilden Schönheiten, die leider oft wenig beachtet werden, weil sie nicht so spektakulär daher kommen wie Zuchtformen. Das Marode, Alte und Geometrie, Kontraste faszinieren mich ebenfalls, Motive mit Botschaft ... :-)
Mein Business: Grafikdesign. Spezialität: Nachhaltige, ökologische Werbung (EcoDesign).
