Laura Barisonzi strives to create unique, iconic imagery that incorporates a strong use of colour and graphic elements. Her lifestyle and sports work is based on the beauty of genuinely active people and natural movement rather than stiff poses.

"What keeps me inspired to shoot is connecting with people and experiencing new places," she says.

Laura studied at Brown University and RISD and now lives in New York. When she manages to pry herself away from the camera she is likely to be biking, running, swimming, or travelling around trying to improve her foreign language skills.

Her clients have included Reebok, Poland Spring, Dove, Heineken, Tyson, MSG Entertainment, NFL, Icebreakers, Outside Magazine, Runner's World, Vibram Five Fingers, Nationwide Insurance, Boston Magazine, Health Magazine, Bicycling, Sierra, Knorr, Fitness, Scholastic, Newsweek and Forbes.
