“I really did put all my eggs into this basket and haven’t thought about anything else.”- Lawrence Furzey, The Monica Kade podcast

Lawrence is one of those people that you feel like you’ve known for years. (And, it’s not often they turn out to live on the same street! He does. We do.) Our conversation was like sitting down over a coffee with a friend to catch up.
Despite having shot celebs Musicians, Yoko Ono, Joel Madden, Michael Buble, Marcia Hines, Banks, Miss Universe: Jen Hawkins, Chefs Pete Evans & Adriano Zumbo, Actor Kate Richie, The Bachelor Tim Robards and many more; he remains down to earth. This guy is the real deal. You can tell he’s head over heels in love with what he does.
