I am a British photographer current residing in Seattle, WA. I shoot a diverse range of subjects ranging from sports and photojournalism to narrative and portrait photography. Throughout my images I attempt to capture and convey an emotional narrative in my photos.

In the past three years my work has appeared in a number of regional and international publications including the Straits Times, Business Times, Asian Geographic, PhotoVideoi, Marketing Interactive, FILE magazine, International Kickboxer Magazine, Bushido, 8 Days, Today paper, The Bangkok Post and New Man.

I was the the Official Photographer on the hit TV show The Contender Asia, which was produced by Imagine Omnimedia / Mark Burnett Productions and currently airing across Asia on AXN. I am also the Official Photographer on The Contender - Season 4, which aired on Versus network in the US in 2008.

I can contacted for commissioned projects, photography workshops or prints.

In addition to this site, I also maintain two others:

- Lost in Focus. A community site I run where I post regular / daily images

- Lawrence Ripsher Photo's Journal. My photographic blog - instruction and reviews
