Lauren Belknap

Lauren Belknap saw the light three years ago when she began shooting as an associate for Brian and Allison Callaway of L.A.-based Callaway Gable, and she’s been looking for it ever since. “The way light can help shape a mood or emotion, depending on how you use it, can be considered a mild obsession of mine,” Belknap says, explaining that she also has an eye on composing layers that unfold a scene. “How can I frame in the subject?” she asks herself while shooting. “If I step back, is there something in the frame that can help tell their story?”
