One of her first experiences was with Howard Schatz, who found much of his early inspiration underwater. Since 2004, Lauren has worked with Howard on many projects in the pool and in his Soho studio. Two photos of Lauren were selected to be included in Schatz’s third book of underwater studies titled H2O (2007, Bulfinch Press).
In the summer of 2012, Lauren was cast for a 2-day underwater commercial shoot for the Japanese skincare line Sensai-Kanebo, which was directed by Schatz and produced by his team of experts. The commercial can be viewed here
Lauren has also participated as a dancer/model in numerous photo workshops held by renowned dance photographer Lois Greenfield. One of her photos, captured at a photo shoot for ASFB, has been featured in Ms. Greenfield’s Breaking Bounds Calendar, appearing in the 2011 calendar as the month of August (see image below).
