Laura Dombrowski
The Wedding Photographer
August 28, 2007 | by Noah on the writeup...Zach on the Video | Permalink
Laura Dombrowski has a degree in statistics and a career in photography, thanks to the traces liberal arts found, within the general education system, at most American universities. Laura took her first photography class during her junior year of college, and spent an entire Semester at Sea traveling the world, taking pictures. She has not looked back since.
Currently a wedding photographer in Denver, Laura has found the balance for which so many self-employed people search. She constantly juggles her creative, marketing, and public relations role, allowing her to do what she loves most: tell stories through photography.
Laura started working freelance directly out of art school, and has therefore learned equally from success and failure. As a woman, in what she calls “an extremely technical industry,” her confidence is as vital, if not more so, than her talent. She advises that swallowing pride better allows rational decisions that will benefit the business; running for notoriety has a high price, and often an abstract reward.
By focusing on one field, weddings, Laura has been able to hone her skill while intensively studying her craft. The work has paid off. Her photographs have been published in various magazines, and her name is respected in the Museum Art District of downtown Denver. “Just maintain focus,” Laura urges, “And everything else will fall into place.”
