JOURNALISM AND ART STUDENT

Hello! My name is Laura Lucivero and I am a senior at the University of South Carolina. My hometown is Randolph, New Jersey. I am currently majoring in Visual Communications and minoring in Studio Art with a concentration in Photography. I have been taking my photography seriously since my freshman year of high school in 2016 and plan on pursuing a career in it after graduation. My ultimate goal is to become a photojournalist, with my dream job being to work with National Geographic.​

​

Most of my work is a combination of landscapes and portraits. I’ve been lucky enough to travel the world and take photos of the places I’ve seen. Being from a place so close to New York City, I have always been drawn to architectural photography, city landscapes, and natural landscapes. Additionally, I have grown fond of portraiture, especially editorial/magazine style. During my sophomore year of college, I was hired as a photographer for UofSC's Garnet & Black magazine. In my first semester, one of my images was chosen for the print issue cover. Prior, I was a member of the National Art Honors Society for 2 years and received an award through this organization during my senior year of high school.

​

Additionally, I have been learning about and writing in journalism since my sophomore year of high school (2017). In 2018, I became an advisor for the TAPinto Club, the student journalism club that worked with a local news website to report on town issues, sporting events, achievements, etc. I held this position up until my graduation in 2020.
