Laura Mommicchi is an artist from France who specializes in photography.

Residing in Nice in the South of France, Laura focuses on creating ethereal scenes underwater. She has dedicated several years to training as a freediver, enabling her to hold her breath longer, which is essential for her art. All her photographs are taken on a single breath hold, rather than using scuba diving gear

For subjects who are inexperienced in freediving, Laura provides instruction and training, as she is a certified instructor in this field.

Since 2025, Laura is sponsored by Molchanovs* as their brand ambassador. Being supported by the global community of passionate and active Freedivers. 

Her artwork draws inspiration from the spiritual domain. Laura follows her intuition, drawing from her experiences, dreams, and insights during meditation

Inviting subjects into her work is also highly intuitive and varies with each project.. Sometimes, she envisions a specific person for her work, while other times, she waits for a meaningful connection to manifest.

Her approach transcends traditional photography, as it involves a deeply personal process of entering the vulnerable space of another individual. The values she upholds in her work include patience, respect for boundaries, and a profound love for what she does.
