Lauren White

I grew up in Cumming, Georgia, where my passion for art began early. In sixth grade, I received my first professional camera—a Sony A6000—which sparked a lifelong interest in photography. After an injury sidelined me from my freshman gymnastics season, I turned my focus to capturing images of my team. Over time, I expanded my skills through 35mm film photography classes and began photographing a variety of high school sports and events.

Currently, I am pursuing a degree in Communications with a minor in Marketing at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.  I serve as a sports photographer for the UTC Echo student newspaper and lead manager for social media and photography for the UTC Marching Mocs. Specializing in sports photography and portrait work, I plan to build a career as a professional sports photographer after graduating in 2028. I hope to continue my photography passion to tell compelling stories using Tamron lenses on my Sony A1.
