Lors d’une escapade en bateau (On a boat trip) is a 42-page book of analogue photographs made during a boat trip to Les 7 Îles (The Seven Islands) off the coast of Perros-Guirec, France. The series offers a fleeting glimpses of what a visitor might encounter while exploring these islands on the Pink Granite Coast. 

The book was printed, cut, and hand-bound, emphasising a tactile approach to image-making and presentation. This type of project has led me to reflect on sequencing and bookmaking as an extension of photographic practice, closely linked to my interest in alternative processes, an area I would like to continue exploring further.

On the way home (2023-ongoing) is a diaristic photographic project that brings together analogue images from Laura’s everyday life. Made between Brittany, France, and Ireland, the series reflects on her evolving relationship with both places, exploring what it means to call somewhere home. 

Although Brittany and Ireland share strong cultural and geographical affinities — from rugged coastline and shifting weather to rural traditions and Celtic heritage — this sense of familiarity between them blurs the boundaries of belonging. As each place echoes the other, the question of where she belongs remains unresolved. 

Using different analogue cameras and film formats, the work embraces fragmentation and variation as part of this in-between experience. Photography becomes a way of navigating overlapping identities and tracing what it means to exist between two closely connected homes.
