FASHION BEAUTY COMMERCIAL GLAMOUR NUDE
PHOTOGRAPHER
Excerpt from interview with Lucas at
La Grand Mag
“How would you describe yourself as
a photographer?
I take pictures of passion and beauty
of human nature shown by human
body, emotions and fashion. Fashion
in my works describes an attitude to
surrounding world. Woman’s beauty,
love, lust and art influence my attitude
to my work and my art.
I try to reach wide range of viewers
simultaneously trying to create interesting
and appealing pictures. Idea
to make my pictures interesting but
straight forward pushes me often to
shoot in commercial style, visually appealing
but still interesting if made well.

I would like to reach people used to watch
art everyday but also more common audience.”
Is there a photographer who has been a
particular influence for you?
I can’t say that I have any idol but definitively
some photographers have inspired
me. For example Patrick Demarchelier as
an example of classic fashion photographer,
David LaChapelle - very innovative,
visual appealing and provocative or Terry
Richardson – ugly personality but interesting
and original style, simple, straight forward.
What do you feel a photo to possess to be
successful?
Emotions and interesting subject.
Are you constantly searching for new models
or do they come to you?
No I am not looking for models. I am looking
only for inspiration. If I have an inspira-

models on its own can be inspiring. My
personal best and most important inspiration
is my partner Caprice Castillo
who give me a lot of things to tell about
in my pictures, emotions, passion, lust,
Muse and working with her is the most
inspiring and pleasant way to create
my pictures and also inspires me to
work with other models that could be
my tools or clay to portray my emotions
derived from her.
