Phoenixville Photographer Publishes New Book

PHOENIXVILLE, PA — A Phoenixville photographer has published her first book, and is hosting a book signing event in the borough this weekend.

Laura Keen, who has worked with a wide variety of clients ranging from Bradley Cooper to Urban Outfitters, recently released the book "Chasing Light."

According to promoters, the book focuses on local musicians and performers and her related work:

"With a portfolio initially comprised largely of no trespassing sites, urban decay and rust as the backdrop to musicians, models, actors and artists, Philadelphia and NYC based Laura began gathering fashion industry clients as diverse as Urban Outfitters, L.A.M.B, and Artificial Intrique and Details Magazine as well as working as still photographer in numerous films. Laura has done portraiture for Bradley Cooper, Marianne Faithfull, BB King and Adrien Brody, Markus Reuter, Tony Levin, Adrian Belew and Sharto Copely amongst others and has extended into even wedding events, which she actually likes (everyone smell nice and are generally happy) and family portraiture, preferring to remain not classified in one genre."

A book signing event will be held on Saturday, June 22 at 11 a.m. It will be located at Forever Change inside Heart Stone Coffee at Franklin Commons.

Half of all proceeds from book sales on Saturday will go to the LGBT Equality Alliance of Chester County.
