Lucy Gauntlett

Artist - Auckland

"Stunning photographic artworks from this award-winning photographer reveal much more than first meets the eye."

Lucy picked up a camera for the first time for a University project while studying architecture and hasn’t looked back since. In the past few years she’s developed swiftly from newbie to becoming a Master member of the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photography, and last year picked up the prestigious Creative New Zealand Photography Award in the Epson/NZIPP Professional Photography Awards. Lucy also works full-time as an architect.
Lucy uses her creative flair to make photographic artworks in a tremendous range of styles. The results have been used to enhance the interiors of everything from an engineering firm to a retirement village, and many private homes in between. For Lucy, all her creative endeavours feed into one another with their common elements of colour, composition, detail and lighting.
Her photographic artworks express layers of meaning by taking a simple image that’s then explored, rearranged and enriched with graphic flourishes to make something entirely new: “The most enjoyable thing about photography is coming across something breath-taking and you just know the photograph is going to be amazing – it doesn’t happen that often, but when it does it’s very exciting. But then, I also love getting completely absorbed in the process of drawing and working with the image on the computer. Time just disappears- it’s really cool!”
