Glen Luchford.

Glen Luchford is known for creating seductive and imageries photography in a rich and dramatic style. His images span to fashion, portraiture and contemporary art recreated in an intense cinematic style. Luchford has created advertising campaigns for Prada, Yves Saint Laurent, Hugo Boss, Calvin Klein as well as portraits for Madonna, and Tilda Swinton. His editorial work is frequently featured in Italian French & American Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Vanity Fair, Another Magazine and W.

What really attracted me to Glen Luchfords work was the amount of depth and richness each image has. They all seem to carry an air of mystery and in a sense almost appear like the stills from a film, as through the models are characters whose motivation and story line must be told to the viewer. I feel this strongly an influence of Luchford’s love of cinema. He prefers to work in the studio rather than on location as he can use elaborate high lighting techniques to create his evocative film like images. His images often have a romantic, softness about them, where models appear in a dream like state inviting viewers in to the Glen Luchford fantasy. He is known for using up to 50 tungsten lights and rarely shot in daytime which means Luchford style is so different from others. He also directed his first feature film – ‘Moch Documentry’ in 2001.
