LAURI LEVY - STATEMENT

With a serendipitous blend of intuition and luck, Lauri Levy creates compelling cultural and architectural portraits capturing what Cartier-Bresson defined as "the decisive moment," the confluence of head, heart, and eye along the same point of view.

With a complex and spontaneous interaction of observation, understanding, imagination and intention, Lauri blends her insight and conditioning to present her photographic vision, edited in camera, with focal emphasis that balances a mix of classical contrasts. The result is a single isolated image of a bigger story which Diane Arbus called "a secret about a secret."
