A student of life and photography, I (Laurel) love capturing the true essence, the real personality, of those I photograph. I'm especially fond of candid and/or black and white images, close-ups, and Photoshop. My heart is for missions photojournalism. Around age nine, I began to see the world through a new lens when I received my first camera, a purple point-and-shoot, courtesy of my grandma. Several years and cameras later, in 2005, I established Laurel Fisher Photography. *Photo by Jason Stratton for Evangel University (used with permission) In the News...
