Laura Zalenga

After discovering photography in 2007, Laura Zalenga initially studied architecture in Munich before fully dedicating herself to photography. She gained international recognition for her creative self-portraits and distinctive visual language. Through her work, she explores social themes such as beauty ideals, mental health, and climate change, often using her own body as a medium of expression.
Zalenga consciously moves beyond the traditional self-portrait, employing elements of closeness, distance, concealment, and abstraction to create imagery that feels intimate yet anonymous. Despite the clarity and precision of her visuals, her work evokes deep emotional resonance.
She has collaborated with major brands including Adobe, Disney, Facebook, Huawei, and Sony. With a strong presence on social media, Zalenga is among the young photographers shaping contemporary visual culture.
