ABOUT LAUREN

Lauren Howe was fortunate to pick up a camera at a young age, in part, because it was a great form of entertainment for a socially awkward only child raised by a single mother.
Lauren has been shooting for over 15 years and has always been passionate about the camera's ability to tell a story. Her unique experiences across three fields, in particular, have influenced her work:
1 - NATURE & WILDLIFE
Lauren has shot in remote areas of all seven continents and areas including Antarctica, the Arctic, the Galapagos, Indonesia, India, and more. It was learning under National Geographic's Michael Melford in Svalbard that she began to fine-tune her craft.
2 - EDITORIAL & FILM
As an actress, TV host, former model and Miss Universe Canada (Top 10 at Miss Universe 2017), she was always fascinated by the editorial process and worked with highly talented creative teams When she's behind the lens, she looks for moments that not only are visually beautiful but also can capture a story.
3 - SPORTS
Lauren trained as a high-performance field hockey athlete and got her start in entertainment as the In-Arena host with the Toronto Maple Leafs. The world of sports will always have a special place in her heart, from the games themselves to the stories surrounding sports that can inspire others.
