Hello, I am Lena
I photograph the moments in between
For twenty years I have been chasing the half-second after the pose: the laugh, the glance, the hand that reaches for another. That is where the real photographs live.
I work from a small daylight studio in Portland and travel wherever the story is, from mountain elopements to menu shoots in busy kitchens.
