Rick Lawrence

I live on Vancouver Island off the west coast of British Columbia, Canada. Although this relatively remote region is ideal for seascape and landscape photography, in which I dabble, I prefer shooting in urban environments and recently I had a solo exhibition titled Urban Abstractions: Exploring Colour and Form in Photography.

While I continue to discover material suited to urban abstract work, I am currently more active in documentary photography and street photography, often in black and white. Lately I have also been exploring informal portraiture.
