Hi, I am Lucy and The Lens, A Preston based professional and published photographer. I also offer bookings in Manchester and Chester. I specialise in Headshots, Fashion and Portrait Photography. I am looking for work with models, actors, families and fashion brands. If this is of interest or if you have anything else, you would like me to shoot please make contact.
My journey into photography started at a very young age from the moment I picked up a disposable camera at the age of 8 my passion ignited. I am mostly a self-taught photographer. The majority of my photographic work was taken on a compact camera until, I was gifted a DSLR camera for Christmas in 2014 which enabled me to take higher quality photos thus fuelling my enthusiasm for photography. Shortly after that at the start of 2015 I did a ten-week intro to photography course to develop my skills. In October 2019 I set up on my own and In May 2021 I was ready to take the next step and move across to working with a Mirrorless Camera.
I offer both studio and outdoor shoots. My most recent commission was a 40th Birthday Party and I shoot a wide variety of portraits and events, the most out of the box being a pheasant shoot. My main interests are in portrait and fashion photography but I am always open to new and exciting ideas as sometimes photography is about breaking out of your comfort zone.
Since joining Preston photographic society in 2015 I have worked with a variety of models, including solo shoots and workshops. I also enter monthly competitions and participate in photo walks. In the 2016/17 season I finished third overall in the novice category only one point behind the winner. In the February 2021 Competition I received a Second place in one of the competitions. for my photo Brandi which you can see below: .
I also graduated from a master's in photography From UCLAN in December 2019. (The University of Central Lancashire). .
For me pictures evoke memories which enable you to look into the past. They capture the essence of a person or create a sense of mystery around them. If you book with me, I will endeavour to capture the essence you convey through your emotions.
