Personal Statement

My name is Jack Laurenson.

I'm a freelance photojournalist based in South London, England.

I'm motivated towards exposing and covering social issues, inequality, and injustice. I spend much time documenting society, the cultures and religions of the world and shooting hard news in London for the national press.

Having worked extensively on documentary projects in India over the past 4 years I am now focusing on issues closer to home working with NGO’s and charities in London and progressing other longterm editorial features. Whilst doing this, I shoot spot news for a national wire agency.

I am planning new self-assigned international features and I love an excuse to jump on a plane.

I am a member of the Chartered Institute of Journalists and the National Union of Journalists in the UK.
