👋 About me: Laura Trif

Hello, and welcome to my world of visual storytelling. I’m Laura Trif, and my journey to becoming a photographer was not a straightforward path, but rather one led by the whisper of my heart, urging me toward a life filled with creativity, adventure, and meaningful connections.

⛱ My Journey

For many years, I wandered through jobs that left me feeling unfulfilled, always searching for something more. The day-to-day routines never resonated with my true self, and I often found myself longing for a deeper purpose. It was during these years of searching and growing that I discovered my true calling: photography and travel. I realized that I needed to step away from the mundane and embrace the beauty that the world had to offer.

This calling wasn't just about capturing beautiful images; it was about connecting with the world on a soul level. It was about finding the extraordinary in the ordinary, and sharing those moments with others who seek the same. All those years in customer service, learning how to connect with people, how to listen, how to see beyond the surface, were the foundation I needed to become the person I am today—a photographer with a passion for storytelling and a deep understanding of the human experience.

The Birth of Tours in Focus

Tours in Focus was born from this realization, a heartfelt response to the inner voice that pushed me to align my life with my passions. I wanted to create something that wasn't just a business but a reflection of my journey—a space where others could find the same fulfillment and joy in photography and travel that I had discovered. It’s a culmination of my experiences, skills, and the deep desire to share the world’s beauty with those who yearn to see it through a different lens.

My Expertise

With more than a decade in the travel industry and extensive photography experience, I’ve explored some of the most stunning and culturally rich destinations on earth. From the remote landscapes of Morocco to the charming streets of Portugal, every place I visit is a new chapter in the story I’m passionate about telling. My expertise lies not just in capturing images but in creating visual narratives that resonate with the soul.

I’m fluent in English, Spanish, and Romanian, which allows me to connect deeply with the people and places I photograph, ensuring that the stories I tell are as authentic as they are beautiful.

My Philosophy

Photography, for me, is a form of meditation, a way to connect with the essence of life itself. It’s about more than just taking pictures; it’s about seeing the world with fresh eyes and an open heart. Through my lens, I strive to capture the fleeting moments that speak to the beauty of existence, the ones that remind us of our shared humanity and the wonders of the world we live in.

My Mission

My mission is simple yet profound: to help others see the world in all its beauty, to inspire creativity, and to foster a deeper connection with nature and culture. Whether through a multi-day photo tour or a single, focused session, I’m here to guide you on a journey that will not only enhance your photography skills but also touch your soul.

Join me, and let’s explore the world together, capturing its beauty one frame at a time. Let’s turn your passion into breathtaking visual stories that you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

Kudos in Focus: Your Stories, My Inspiration!

Absolutely magical! The Montseny photo tour with Tours in Focus was the perfect day trip from Barcelona. Our guide, Laura, was not only incredibly knowledgeable about photography but also truly passionate about the natural beauty of the region. The autumn colors in Montseny were breathtaking, and with Laura’s guidance, we learned how to use the ICM (Intentional Camera Movement) technique to create unique, artistic shots. She made the process so approachable and fun! It was a serene and immersive experience, and I walked away with stunning images that I’m incredibly proud of. Laura’s patience and creativity really made this tour special. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to expand their photography skills in nature!Nabeel I.
