Erika Lau is a photographer, documentary filmmaker, and ecologist whose work lies at the intersection of environment, migration, and culture.
Originally from tropical Malaysia, she spent her childhood in the ever-evolving cityscape of modern China. Moving from one metropolis to another sparked her interest in the complex relationship between people and nature, and the movement of communities and cultures across place and time.
She is currently based in London, where she uses visual storytelling to amplify underrepresented voices and advocate for climate justice and social equity.​ Previously, she worked as a postgraduate researcher at the Zoological Society of London, contributing to the conservation of the world's rarest primate, the Hainan Gibbon.
