Laurence Morassut (b. 1995) is an Australian Photographic Artist, currently working on the Central Coast, Australia. His work focuses on the Nocturnal, with much of his practice taking shape in the dark hours of the night. His work with dark artificially lit landscapes aims to unveil an altered view of a world not often seen. This focus on the night allows for striking imagery and vivid colour to rise from the depths of the darkness.
His current practice focuses on Australia's drinking culture. It aims to document the deep tradition of drinking within Australia while exploring the rituals and traditions behind it.
