Semi-Contemporary Photographer: Laurie Simmons

Born: 1949, Long Island, New York
Education: BFA Tyler School of Art 1971
Date of Creation: 1979

Laurie is known for staging dolls, ventriloquist dummies and objects on legs in front of the camera with psychological subtexts.

I don't find all of her working to my liking, but I do find the "Cowboy" series to be interesting. I feel I can create my own story and essentially it becomes my own.
