(2023-)

On the way home is an diaristic project that presents analogue photographs of Laura’s daily life. Taken in various locations between Britanny, in France, and Ireland, this collection of images questions the artist’s notion of home.

Lors d’une escapade en bateau (On a boat trip) is a 42-page book of analogue photographs taken during a boat trip to Les 7 Îles (the Seven Islands), in Perros-Guirec, France. This series of photos is a glimpse of what a tourist might see while exploring these islands off the Pink Granite Coast.

This book was printed, cut, and bound by hand.

Images from São Paulo

Images from São Paulo is a collection of analogue photographs taken during Laura’s first trip to South America. While on vacation in São Paulo, she discovered the infinite shades of colour that Brazil had to offer to her. She immortalised her stay with black and white street photographs.

That makes sense, doesn’t it?

Photo Collages

I sometimes print my photos, but that does not mean I find a place or a use for them.

I therefore decided to make collages with old film photos printed on 224g/m2 medium-grain paper.

PhotoWorks 2025

PhotoWorks 2025 is a collection of postcards from 2nd Year Photographic Media students studying at Griffith College, Dublin. This collection of postcards is a way to get their work into the real world. It allows the artists to showcase their individual photographic practices while functioning as a collective project.

Along with six other Photography students, we created a set of postcards so we could see our work in physical format. Mine is titled bratach na hÉireann, and is a film photograph taken in Lahinch, Co. Clare, Ireland.

PhotoWorks 2025 Postcard Set available on sale at Photo Museum Ireland.

Religion – a debatable charm

Laura Nadal — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:53:16 +0000

Coming from an atheist home, a certain curiosity grew in me when I first discovered this farm in Kerry, Ireland. The beauty of the elements and the faith given to them made me rethink the way I see religious signs.

It was enough to combine the farm, the hard work dedicated to it and the kindness of the people who welcomed me there, for me to find in this place an incomparable charm that I had to photograph on film.

Photos from my latest stay at the farm.

Thursday, May 8th, 2025, 1 p.m. Irish time: the release time of Ilford’s new black and white film stock. For its release, I had the opportunity to shoot some Kentmere Pan 200 and create content around my photos.

I used the Kentmere Pan 200 film boxes as paper and the negatives of the rolls I shot as my designs.

In April 2025, I was nominated for Photographer of the Year 2025 at the Smedias Awards in Ireland for this series of photos taken at the Smithfield Horsefair in Dublin.

Rediscover your instincts

I sometimes forget what it was like to take pictures, like in the very beginning. Returning to this almost carefree practice, full of errors and clumsiness, is ultimately not a bad idea.
