Lara Porzak is a Los Angeles-based photographer working exclusively with the analog techniques of tintypes and gelatin silver prints from black and white film. Often developing her images on-site using a mobile darkroom, she creates intimate, handcrafted photographs that feel like memory made visible.

Porzak’s practice spans over 20 solo exhibitions and is rooted in emotional resonance, timeless methods, and the tactile beauty of traditional photography. Her work is held in the Getty Museum’s collection and has been exhibited at Aspen Art Fair, Bergdorf Goodman, and Hôtel de Crillon, with features in Architectural Digest.

Lara Porzak is represented by The Spaceless Gallery.
