Lauren WittePhotographer
My fascination with photography began in middle school when I started taking photos of leaves and trees on boardwalk trails with my father's phone. It blossomed in high school when I became the church photographer and then transformed when I arrived in the journalism program at the University of Florida. Now, I photograph people and their stories. In my free time, I enjoy roller skating, exploring the food scene and binge-watching my favorite TV shows.
