Lawrence Ripsher

I am a British photographer currently residing in Singapore. I shoot a diverse range of subjects from portraiture, street, ballet to storytelling / narrative photography. My work is well known in online communities - in addition to being published in several online and print publications, my galleries on Pbase have received over 1.8M hits in the past 18 months and am regularly ranked amongst the site’s most popular (although these days that doesn't mean quite what it used to). I consider myself to be an 'experimental' photographer.

So I just found Lawrence and to tell you the truth, I have no idea how his images came up on my screen...probably from google. But the more and more I looked into his narrative photography, the more I was overwhelmed with his imagery, because I found it so amazing... His images are on the same level as Bill henson (for me at least). I am mostly focusing on his "scared of the dark" series, which blew me away. The way the figures intereacted with the environment they were in really spoke to me and told me a story...which I am trying to achieve this semester with my images. Narrative photography is something I have never really looked in to and has never really existed to me in that sense. The more and mroe I am reseraching it, the more appealing it is to me and the more I want to make strong images like the ones that have been influencing me.
