Dasha Lazo (b.1992) is a Russian-born British visual artist and photographer based in London. Her work explores body politics and the pressures surrounding women's bodies, drawing from personal experience rather than political intent. The themes that run through her practice womanhood, mental health, identity and nostalgia emerge from lived experience first.

Working primarily with analogue photography and moving image, she also makes sculpture and experiments with other processes. Her background in film shapes how she moves between still and moving image.

Since graduating from the MA Photography programme at London College of Communication in 2021 her work has been shown and published internationally.
