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

She was a regular columnist in London Independent Photography and Editor-at-large for Photoicon Magazine. [1] She has written for a number of monographs and is the author of The Art of Collecting Photography. [2]
In 2009, after several years at The Photographers' Gallery she established the Diemar/Noble Photography Gallery in London. [3] The gallery stocked and exhibited photography from the medium's early masters to contemporary work. In 2010, it was selected as the host gallery for the Prix Pictet commission by Ed Kashi. [4] In the same year, Time Out called Diemar/Noble "one of the capital's top spots for photography." [5] The gallery closed in August 2012. [6]
Noble founded L A Noble Gallery in September 2012. [7] She is the sole director of the gallery which is predominantly focused on contemporary photography.
She continues to consult and curate external exhibitions including Robert Clayton's Estate at the Library of Birmingham. [8]
FIX Photo launched in 2016, a free exhibition of photography produced and curated by Noble. FIX Photo is an annual event, with curator led tours, artist talks, film screenings and a programme of workshops. The 2017 edition of FIX Photo included 23 artists, with "over 300 pieces showcased along ten rooms and four floors". [9] It was curated in response to the consequences of the dramatic political shifts of 2016. [10]
The British Journal of Photography described the show as mixing 'well-established photographers with little-known or emerging artists, and is gathered into four categories – identity, community, harmony & unity, and environment'. [9] This year also saw the first FIX Photo Festival Awards, an open competition judged by Noble, Chris Steele-Perkins, photographer Lottie Davies and Digital Camera Magazine editor, Ben Brain.
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).[ citation needed]
