About Your Photographer, Iris

"Just showing up with a camera is not enough. You need to show why you care. You need to show a hint about your secret or somebody else's secret. You need to tell a story and also ask a question."

Hi! I’m Iris Laurencio, a Brooklyn-based photographer, and I believe that our bodies tell our stories. The saying “recordar es vivir”—to remember is to live—resonates deeply with me. My photography captures meaningful moments, preserving memories that might otherwise fade. While I specialize in intimate portraiture and honoring the female form, my work embraces all body types and personal styles.

 

For many, stepping in front of the camera takes courage. It’s not just about capturing a beautiful image; it’s about the vulnerability and growth that come with the experience. I see photography as a way to celebrate the body, saying, “You deserve to be seen and remembered.”

 

My Brooklyn studio offers a safe, stylish environment where clients can feel at ease. I approach each session with curiosity, getting to know who you are and why this experience matters to you.

 

My love for photography began during my time as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Dominican Republic. Since then, I’ve continued to explore the power of visual storytelling, capturing intimate and transformative moments in people’s lives. For me, the magic lies not just in the photograph but in the entire journey of being seen and celebrated.

Brooklyn Boudoir Photographer

The quote above is from my teacher, Paul Sunday, during my studies at ICP (International Center of Photography). This self-portrait was created as an assignment for his class. In this image, I pay homage to the little girl who once stumbled around in her mom’s high heels, dreaming of a day that she would have her own. Now that I’ve grown into those shoes, I wear an oversized shirt to symbolize the child still within me—the one who still loves McDonald’s French fries, and never could have imagined she’d be a photographer living in New York City. 

"If the photographer is interested in the people in front of his lens, and if he is compassionate, it's already a lot. The instrument is not the camera but the photographer."

- Eve Arnold
