Shann Lawrence Creative, describes Lori's work - "The images float you away on a fantasy, they take you to those places you’ve always wanted to see. They’re serene, still, dreamlike; but just when you settle into their relaxed beauty, you suddenly realise that there is something hiding in each of them that makes you stop and think, so that you wonder whether you should be just a little bit afraid of what lies within. There are mythologies that hide within these photographs, sirens to lure us to a beautiful doom, nestled beneath stunning perfection"
In 2015, Lori was awarded the Australian Institute of Professional Photographers (AIPP) ACT Portrait Photographer of the Year, the AIPP ACT Illustrative Photographer of the Year and most recently, finalist for the 2015 Australian Creative Photographer of the Year. 2015 also recognised Lori as Australia's Top Emerging Fashion/Editorial Photographer, announced in Capture Magazine, Emerging Artists issue.
