Lauri Novak

Lauri Novak is an award-winning fine art photographer, mentor and author based outside of Chicago. She has an eye for photographing architecture, traveling as much as possible and just wandering in nature with her camera.

The camera was ever-present in her life growing up in one form or another, including the many family vacation photos that were taken by her mother. The world opened up to her through her view-finder and has brought into focus many of the details in life that are often overlooked.

Travel opened up so many opportunities for photographs. Different cultures, amazing historical architecture and the incredible beauty that is everywhere in this world.

One of the questions Lauri is asked most often both by viewers of her work and other photographers is, “How did you see that?” She works to show different perspectives, unique angles and the everyday details of a wide variety of subjects.

Lauri also has a passion for helping others and offers mentorships and photo tours.
