Dasha Lazo (b.1992) is a visual artist and photographer based in London. Her work explores body politics and the pressures surrounding women's bodies. The themes that run through her practice are womanhood, mental health, identity and nostalgia that emerge from lived experience. Working primarily with analogue photography and moving image, she also incorporates sculpture and experiments with alternative 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.
