About

"Her photographs have the power to transport you into the moment the picture was taken. They manage to capture a beautiful sense of tranquillity and peace. I left determined to get back into surfing just to experience for a minute the feelings her pictures evoked." Tanya Morrissey, Brisbane Threads. 

El Jay is a passionate photographer who loves capturing a moment as it happens, whether that’s the ranches of Wyoming, the ocean floor of the Gili Islands or the surf breaks of Sydney, Australia - her work focuses on capturing fleeting moments, the feeling of being there, and the memories which stay with you forever. 

Lauren has received a Commended award for Capture Magazine's Emerging Photographer of the year, is a RAW artist and has showcased her work in places such as The Met in Brisbane, and has been featured in articles in places such as Brisbane Threads.

She is looking for collaborations, opportunities and any excuse to take the next photo. Her love of travel and adventure have seen her travel to places such as the Gili islands, Hawaii, Bali, the USA, Aruba, and even closer to home on the Gold Coast to get the perfect shot. Lauren is currently based in the USA, but travels frequently.

Lauren looks forward to speaking to you soon, and she hopes you love the work.
