ABOUT

Post-graduation from university and after more than a year of bumbling around abroad, I left a small Alabama hometown and made my way cross-country to settle in Seattle, WA. Since making the transition, I’ve had fewer friends to shoot and have been experimenting with self photography in the confines of my living room. Many of my recent images are a product of that. Starting in 2005 at the age of 17, I began my college career as a student by day and a tattoo artist by night before graduating magna cum laude with a degree in International Relations and a double minor in Russian and Psychology in 2009. Over time, my professional interests have shifted away from tattooing and into photography; I am currently employed by The House Studios in downtown Seattle. If you're interested, more of my portfolio can be viewed at - www.OliviaLazer.com or www.strangefolk.tumblr.com And if you like ridiculous doodles of weird and vaguely inappropriate little devil monsters, my dirty secret can be found by visiting - www.thebigugly.tumblr.com
