Laurence Butet-Roch completed a B.A. in International Relations at the University of British Columbia and pursued photography at the School of Photographic Arts: Ottawa. Upon graduating from the latter in 2010, she won the Montreal Mois de la Photo Emerging Photographer Award and moved to France where she started working at Polka Magazine while continuing to produce personal projects.
Drawing from personal experience, her work examines how individuals negotiate multiple cultural identities and the intersection between place, memory and said identities. This fascination has also led her to question the relation between economic prosperity and the cultural, physical and psychological well-being of communities.
Mindful of the evolving media ecology, Laurence is currently pursuing a Master of Digital Media at Ryerson University thanks to an Ontario Graduate Scholarship.
She continues to write for Polka Magazine, The New York Times Lens Blog, TIME Lightbox, The New Yorker Photo Booth, The British Journal of Photography, Raw View.
