ABOUT
Lauren J Mulder is a fashion and portrait photographer…
based in Minnesota with a love for texture, nineties grunge fashion, and urban environments. Mulder creates her photographs using DSLR cameras as well as 35mm analog cameras and 4x5 large format analog cameras. Mulder began her relationship with photography at age fifteen after purchasing her first DSLR camera. By age sixteen, after teaching herself everything from how to work the camera to retouching in Adobe Photoshop, Mulder was already working with well-known modeling agencies.
Originally from Wausau, Wisconsin, Mulder relocated to Minneapolis, MN to pursue higher education in 2017 at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD). After completing two years of the coursework necessary to receive a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Photography (with a minor in advertising), Mulder transferred to the University of Stevens Point to finish her schooling in 2021 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Arts Management.
Mulder has exhibited her photographs and other artworks in Minneapolis and Central Wisconsin, as well as in international locations such as Rome. Her work appears in publications such as French fashion magazine, Malvie, and children’s book Marion & Stella.
In addition to taking photographs, Mulder creates other artwork including rug-making, jewelry, book-making, embroidery, and graphic design.
