Feature: LaraJade

By [Chimes]



A lot of artists and photographers do projects involving phobias and fears but sadly we can't feature all of them. So instead, I have chosen one of my favourites. I have long been watching Lara Jade over at DeviantART, as well as on her website and, to be honest, I think she's fantastic

Lara Jade is a talented British photographer, starting photography at thirteen and having her own company, Lara Jade Photography, at the young age of seventeen. She does both commercial photography and personal photography – her phobias series coming into the latter.

When looking through the set for the first time, I found my own phobia depicted in photo form – I screamed. This is why I have chosen to show you, with permission, some of the photographs from this project. The ones that made me scream are on here, much to my own discomfort, I wouldn't recommend looking if you don't like clowns.

Later there will hopefully be an interview but currently we have to make do without as Lara is, expectedly, a busy person.

Please take the time to look at these images – they really are chilling. You can find the full set and the rest of her work by going to http://larajade.co.uk. If you are a member of DeviantART and want to add her to your watch list her gallery is here http://larafairie.deviantart.com/. She can also be found on Flickr.
