About Lauren Danilek

Lauren grew up around Lake Michigan and her appreciation for the outdoors began alongside her love for both film and digital photography. A graduate of Savannah College of Arts and Design, she has been published in Backcountry, BACKPACKER, and Outdoor Retailer magazines, as well as numerous other digital platforms and blogs, and has worked with environmental non-profits like Urban Rivers, Alliance for the Great Lakes, and The Conservation Alliance to document their projects and efforts. Recently, she has combined her mountaineering and climbing experience to document adventures across North America’s glaciers for the American Alpine Club and more and continues to use photography to aid in environmental activism and people’s connection to the outdoors.
