Laura Crosta is a advertising, music, people, and a lifestyle photographer who lives in Brooklyn but splits her time between New York and Los Angeles. She exhibits youthfulness in her work, a spirit that is prevalent in all of her projects whether she is shooting a lifestyle campaign for Canon, exploring Ghana, Africa with a camera and a backpack, creating album artwork for a musician, or a personal project using Barbie as a main ingredient in food photography.
She likes smart and quirky humor as much as she likes an introspective portrait. Shooting basketball players is a guilty pleasure and she would like to do more of that. Syracuse basketball games was her very first subject matter followed by World Cup skiers in Vail, Colorado and then LA rappers. She grew into adding a humorous angle to her photography as an outlet for her Jersey roots being sub-planted in Los Angeles for too long.
Whatever she is working on, Crosta commits to her art form one hundred percent. She has explored deviant lifestyles unflinchingly, once documenting Jeff Fischer’s dating experiences with prostitutes for the book project I Date a Hooker. It is not in her nature to shy away from projects that require the extra mile, so when the opportunity arose to create a documentary on The Hotel Café music tour, not only did Crosta attends the shows, she dropped everything to travel on the tour bus with the artists for a 24/7 authentic experience, creating a documentary that received 4 festival commendations and was sold to The Documentary Channel.
Some of her Clients and Subjects include: ESPN, Microsoft, Sony, Nike, Canon, Adidas, Mini, Toyota, Kelly Clarkson, Kiss, Michael Jordan, Ru Paul, Run DMC, George Clinton, Girltalk, Nasa & Jewel.
