Lara Mitchell Guirao, Staff Writer & Photographer
I am a senior at SLU-Madrid, where I have developed a strong passion for journalism, photography, and digital media. As a contributing writer and photojournalist for the student newspaper, I enjoy using both words and images to tell meaningful stories.
Through my coursework, I’ve gained hands-on experience in photojournalism, media production, and digital editing. Learning to shoot in manual mode was a major milestone for me, allowing me to take full creative control of my photography. Beyond the camera, I love refining images, structuring an impactful story, and working with audio and video editing to bring my travel experiences to life.
As a dancer myself, I am especially drawn to capturing movement through photography. Dance combines artistry and athleticism, and I strive to translate that energy into still images that tell a story. Whether behind the lens, at the editing desk, or on the dance floor, I am always looking for ways to capture the world from a fresh perspective.
