FEATURED PHOTOGRAPHER: EDITH LAURENT-NEUHAUSER

In this issue, we feature Austrian portrait photographer, Edith Laurent-Neuhauser. Edith has developed a talent for producing unique images that have a romantic vintage feel to them. We hope you get lost in time as much as we do when looking at her stunning portraits.

Photographic Speciality/Style:

I love taking pictures in a romantic style and turning them into my special vintage look.

Short Bio:

I live in Vienna, am married and have three adult children. My hobbies are sports and photography.

About 15 years ago I was looking for a creative balance to my office job. I therefore completed an apprenticeship as a color and style consultant. After the consultations, I created 'before and after pictures' of my clients.

And I noticed that I enjoy taking photos more than the consultations. That's how I got into photography.

Your images are amazing. Tell us a bit about your story and how you ended up specializing in romantic vintage portrait photography?

When I started taking photographs, I studied the work of well-known photographers and painters.

David Hamilton became one of my greatest role models. I loved his romantic style, the soft look of his paintings and the fact that he only worked with natural light.

Of course, I failed when I tried to create his incomparable look - but over time I found my style.

Would you be able to give us a bit of insight as to how you go about planning & taking your images, from coming up with the initial concept through to creating the final product?
