about

Hi, I’m Lae Arylide, thanks for stopping by.

My work as a visual artist is rooted in storytelling, natural light, and raw creative instinct. Based between Paris, France, and Sydney, Australia, I create narrative photography and cinematic worlds that explore the concepts of beauty and poetry anchored in the real world. I take a lot of pride in working with entirely real elements and scenery. Everything you see captured here happened in real life, every face is untouched.

My fine-art work has been recognized internationally, notably as a two-time recipient of the Daily Deviation distinction. Before fully dedicating my life to independent art and direction, I spent years navigating the high-stakes landscape of international marketing as a Director in the privacy technology sector. Today, I use that structural experience to try and make a positive difference in the way we create collectively—building uncompromising, ethical creative ecosystems, contributing to the protection of borderless artist communities, and directing cross-media projects that challenge traditional industry blueprints.

Every frame I build is an invitation to contemplate the beauty of metaphors turned poetically literal.
