About me

Hi. My name is Lara Jane, I’m a freelance photographer based in Weymouth, Dorset right on the beautiful Jurassic coast and home of the sailing for the 2012 Olympics. I’ve studied photography at Bournemouth Arts University as well as Winchester school of art and with Steve McCurry on a workshop in Burma; I also studied Fashion design at Southampton University.

My background has been fashion retail for the last 20 years working for some of the biggest Fashion retailers in the UK, Europe and the World. In 2010 I decided to take all that knowledge, experience and combine with my biggest passion, creating images, to start my own commercial photography business.
