   First visiting Western Australia for work in 2013，Lauren fell in love with northern WA and has been back six times.She has made over 140 work trips，but the best work trip ever was to Broome in the Kimberley region.
   "It is extremely beautiful and I can experience the indigenous Australia there more than anywhere else.The Kimberley region，in particular，is unique and untouched." She told the interviewer，and as a photographer，Lauren loves the bright light and amazing colours：red rocks，green plants，blue-green waters and blue skies.
