Laura Noble

Laura Noble (born Manchester 1974) is an English writer, gallerist and artist.

Laura Noble has written for numerous publications including Next Level, Foam, Snoecks and Image magazines. She was a regular columnist in London Independent Photography and Editor-at-large for Photoicon Magazine. Noble has written for a number of monographs and is the author of The Fine Art of Collecting Photography.

In 2009, after several years at The Photographers' Gallery she established the Diemar/Noble Photography Gallery in London with photographic consultant Michael Diemar. The gallery stocked and exhibited a wide range of photographic work, from the medium’s early masters to current and cutting-edge contemporary work. The gallery's agenda intended to promote new photography to as wide an audience as possible, by presenting new or little seen works in context with classic proponents of the medium. In 2010, it was selected as the host gallery for the Prix Pictet commission by Ed Kashi. In the same year, Time Out called Diemar/Noble "one of the capital's top spots for photography." The gallery closed in August 2012.

Noble founded L A Noble Gallery in September 2012. It was launched at the Unseen Photo Fair in Amsterdam. Noble is the sole director of the gallery which enables her to concentrate on predominantly contemporary photography. She continues to consult and curate external exhibitions including Robert Clayton's critically acclaimed Estate at the Library of Birmingham.

A passionate advocate of photography in all its forms, she lectures in the UK and abroad to students, photographers and collectors on the subject. Noble is a visiting lecturer at Kingston University (2014–present), University of Westminster (2010–present), Falmouth University (2011–present) and Sotheby's Institute of Art, London (2013–present). She has delivered seminars on collecting photography at The National Museum of Warsaw (2015), Foam Amsterdam (2013), Glasgow Art Fair (2008) and at Fundacio Foto Colectania, Barcelona. At the latter, she was invited to host the interview presentation with photographer Albert Watson.
