about me
Laura Deus grew up in Southern Portugal, where she fell for photography via her dad’s film cameras - long before she actually knew how to load a roll properly. Later, Architecture entered the scene during her studies at the University of Coimbra. Naturally, her Master’s thesis ended up combining both passions, with an ambitious (but heartfelt) title Construction of the Architectural Imaginary: Photographic Influences.
Currently based in Lisbon, she splits her time between designing spaces and photographing them - often with people for scale and stories in mind. Her ultimate passion is to connect buildings and people to tell stories.
In 2022, Laura was the winner of the Early Career and Emerging Talent Architectural Photography Award by APAlmanac, one of the most respected platforms for architecture photographers worldwide.
When she's not designing or photographing buildings, you can find her planning an overly detailed travel itinerary or recording episodes of Grande Angular, a podcast about architecture photography she co-hosts with 3 fellow photographers.
