Art Show: Featuring Lauren Oujiri
Lauren Oujiri is a photographer living in Nehalem. She has been featured in gallery exhibits and retail environments, self-published two books of photography paired with haiku, her images have been purchased for the home and workplace, and she still considers herself an amateur.
Lauren loves sharing landscapes and intimate moments of our beloved North Coast along with close-ups of flowers, abstracts, and other subjects on social media daily (#laurenoujiri).
Lauren is a mostly self-taught photographer (and artist), and previous work as a graphic designer informs her art. She finds composing the image and fine-tuning the crop gratifying, and usually avoids using the adjustments available for editing digital images, believing the light and color are best when true to life; she does enjoy black and white though, as we see anew with them.
Lauren finds photography calming, illuminating, joyful, educational, and fascinating, and is grateful when people say they experience it that way, too. She believes we all are artists, that the world and each of us benefit from creating art, and, that life is art.
