©2024 Laia Ros

Laia Ros is a photographer and multimedia storyteller, graduated in journalism from Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona). She is currently based in Brussels.


She combines her photojournalistic and assignment work with documentary and long term projects, in which she intends to portray the subjective element, the emotions and feelings of the people she photographs, for which she often employs a collaborative practice to invite them to dive into their own experience.


She has collaborated with El País, El Diario, La Vanguardia, Getty Images, ID agency, Diari Ara, El Quinze-Diari Públic, El Salto, Pikara Magazine, Playground Magazine, or iDNES, amongst others.


She has been an apprentice for the BBC's Newsround program in Salford (United Kingdom) and a trainee for Europa Press, Catalan News Agency, and the European Parliament (Belgium), institution for which she works as an external contractor.
