We focused of femininity today, Pre comms were superb and as always the shoot went by way too quickly, Good sign of a good shoot!

He kept me hydrated and refuelled with snacks and drinks, Thank you Lucien.

It’s always a massive recommend from me and with a massive smile Jade x

I had a lovely Shoot today with Lucien. He was very friendly, kind, caring, and respectful. Very interesting to talk to and great at conversation. He knew exactly what he wanted in terms of images and was great at explaining everything. The Shoot was laid back and fun and I really enjoyed it. Highly recommended and hope to work together again.

Lucien is one of the loveliest people I've had the fortune of meeting. Not only did he come to my social shoot today, he brought refreshments! Top man! Shooting with him is always a joy, and I hope I get to shoot with him again soon. If he offers a shoot to you i'd say, grab the opportunity with both hands :)

Thank you Lucien, I hope you like the photos. If not, well, it is what it is! ;)

Yesterday I met and worked with Lucien and his associate Kevin for the first time, they stopped in at my farmhouse for a shoot on their way to Scotland.

It was a perfect shooting experience, from the moment this duo got out of the car I was delighted by their energy and knew it would be a nice shoot.

Lucien has the ideal temperament for a model photographer and artist - kind, polite, yet passionate and skilled at what he does. It is beautiful to watch him work, he is very good at his craft (as his portfolio clearly shows) but also in person he is just so warm and gracious to his models.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to be shot by him and hope he enjoys the results.

Thanks again Lucien!

Lovely meeting Lucien on a recent visit to England, working together with him and Kevin Roche. They were a perfect team ! worked well together and were easy, fun, and light in their approach to their hobby! IT was a pleasure to host them both in a stunning apartment in which we made some beautiful images! Lucien also brought a packed lunch for us all which I thought was a nice personal touch, highly recommended by me!

I had my first shoot with LuceD. He was a pleasure to work with right from his first message. He was very clear about expectations and with his communication, and followed through on what he said. He was kind, and was very understanding when I had to move the shoot due to my escort being ill. When we showed up, he warmly welcomed my escort and I with snacks, drinks and water. He allowed me to free pose and then had some inspiration shots for me. He challenged me, in a really great way. I loved that he used natural light and he has a very artistic eye. He was vocal about what he wanted during the shoot in a very respectful and uplifting way. It all went very smoothly. I would love to have the pleasure of working with him again and would easily recommend him to any amateur or professional model. I felt very safe and comfortable and I cant wait to see the edited pictures.

I have worked with Lucien 3 times now I believe and every time has been absolute pleasure. From booking the shoot to the shoot itself everything is done with ease. Communication is excellent and he has a beautiful outside and inside space to shoot in. Throughout the shoot Lucien is very professional, polite and very respectful. He is always concerned if the model is okay throughout and allows breaks with plenty of refreshments too! He also always has a very clear idea of what to shoot and then allows the model to input her ideas too which is always lovely when working together.

Lucien is an absolute joy to work with, so easy to get along with and not to mention he also knows how to take absolutely beautiful images!

A bloody good photographer but also a true gentleman and lovely human being! I would wholeheartedly recommend working with Lucien and I truly hope our paths will cross again in the near future!

What a gent! Such a sweet heart really was! I 100% enjoyed his company he's a very interesting and kind person and his work is absolutely stunning! His communications are second to non, very organised which helps me greatly being a very busy mama!. Everything was so smooth and easy and I really can't wait to see the pics as I know they will be really beautiful as this guy really knows his stuff and knows what he wants! He came with snacks and drinks and we got on fab and had a really great chat and it was easy and a useful experience working together, learning new techniques and styles, my fav shoot yet xx

What an amazing shoot with LuceD today, he replied very quickly to all queries regarding the shoot and always asked I was comfortable with what we’re were shooting, he picked me up and dropped me to the train station and had plenty of refreshments available , the shoot flowed and was very relaxed, he helped with direction and made sure I was aware of the look he wanted to recreate , I would highly recommend him and hope one day we will meet again ! Thank you ! :)

I have worked with Lucien several times now and every time has been a complete delight! From the start of the communications to the end of the shoot everything is professional and well organised. Booking the shoot with Lucien is done with ease and you know all the details within a few messages.

During the shoot Lucien is always professional, polite and very respectful. He has clear ideas and let’s you pose freely. He makes sure you are well fed and watered and his hospitality is second to none!

I always find the shoot flies by there is lots of lovely chat, fantastic images being created and just an all round lovely feel to the shoot! Honestly Lucien is absolutely lovely and I look forward to working with him, he is a fantastic photographer and an all round lovely person! Wholeheartedly recommended!

I had a fantastic shot a couple of months back with Luce. As modelling is no longer my main job it completely slipped my mind to leave a reference before... this certainly doe snit reflect badly on Luce who is so great to work with.lesding up to the shoot Luce gave really clear directions about what he wanted to achieve and what he wanted me to bring. Unlike me, Luce's organisation is superb! The shoot itself was brilliant - we had lovely weather and Luce allowed me to flow between poses, giving direction her needed. It was great to use his secluded back garden and take advantage of the nice weather to produce some gorgeous nudes/semi nudes. Love profuse slots of lively refreshments, gave plenty of breaks and is really interesting to talk to. We discovered we have a shared literature interest amongst other things and it is always nice to experience Luce's great music collection. Would recommend Luce to any model.thank you for a fabulous shoot!

Today was my second shoot with Lucien in the form of the roaring 20s.

Luce had a vision which I think we executed pretty well if I do say so myself. He had prepared the most wonderful Great Gatsby style dress for me with accessories including the most fantastic wig to set the scene. I had the best time playing dress up.

Lucien is such a kind man, so chatty and smiley and is always so hospitable when you shoot at his home studio. Always a lovely spread of snacks and juice. He will even make you a cuppa if you ask him nicely. We will shoot again and have even discussed our next era.

Such a complete gentleman throughout. I had so much fun today.

Thank you x

I had a great shoot with Luce during one of my London tours.

We spoke about the shoot in advance and planned extremely well! :)

Luce set up a few set-ups, including a lovely velvet fabric.

The weather was perfect for the shoot, so we were able to easily shoot in his outdoor, home studio.

Luce was friendly, professional, hospitable, clever, outgoing and a passionate art nude photographer.

We got on very well as people and we worked great together too.

We aced the shots very quickly.

Luce was able to direct me if he had something different in mind and

I love this, as it is always fun to try something new or a new pose!

I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and chatting with him during our breaks.

I hope I get the pleasure of working with him again.

Highly recommended photographer :)

It pains me to be writing this so late... Lucien is the nicest human imaginable and I really wish that 2022 hadn't gotten as crazy as it did for me (for a number of reasons!) because he really did deserve these gushing compliments from the word go! I was honestly just full of joy to be able to work with him again after not having had the chance to do so for so long. What a gentleman, a creative being to the fullest level and a bundle of high-spirits this photographer is. 🌟

I had only just started to feel the freedom of touring again without the uncertainty of the previous pandemic years. It was a strange (but amazing!) feeling being back on the road again in adventure mode... It almost felt like coming to Guildford for the first time all over again mind you! 😅 Thus it was so nice to have great familiar people to catch up with and restore the excitement and creative buzz that touring pre-Covid once gave. I have always had the most enjoyable shoots with Lucien; therefore when he came back to me confirming his availability during the times that I was due to be in the area, as one can imagine I was beaming! From that first ever shoot I have loved how Luce really thinks outside the box to produce exquisite and classical looking art nude work - yet with a very simple and clever solution! His passion and technique for the art nude genre, combined with allowing models to just go for it bringing their own shapeshifting to the table makes for a lot of productivity indeed as the shoot rapport does it's thing! On top of that: he is a highly respectful, kind and giving sort of person who just has the most gigantic heart you ever came across. 😊 To have a LuceD shoot planned in my diary makes for a very happy Keira.

I can never believe just how lucky we get with the light when we shoot! It's not the complete end of the world if the weather does turn because Luce does formulate back up plans, but his best work comes from a super cool outdoor system which (if this makes sense) has more of an indoor feel. It's about the quality of that lovely soft natural light basically... And our photographer has it off to a tee! 😉 He's super fast and adapted in his shooting style to combat any small changes to the light whilst mid-flow, knowing his shooting space inside-out and where the light diffuses best. Working quickly to ensure the comfort and well-being of the model, but catching the killer shots in a heartbeat. He just does his thing so well and it's absolutely what makes Lucien Lucien. 👏📷 Our latest shoot was no different (aside from some fun minor additions to the usual plan) but in terms of the yield - spectacular! Yes he did it again with a camera full of eloquent and timeless looking images! The sets are in the bag fast, but the shoot as a whole is relaxed and non-pressured, it's this combination that I really like because I just adore being able to let that Keira energy go haha! The LuceD-Keira effect! 😁

Both whilst the photos are being taken and between sets I am met with the highest level of caring thoughtfulness and professionalism from Lucien. 🤩 He and his family are just so undeniably hospitable to visiting models; treating them the same as you would friends. I am never left thirsty when I visit for a shoot, and not only are snacks and sandwiches routinely offered - but I get sent away with then as well to ensure that the energy levels are rejuvenated after the shooty fun. 😊 I really (seriously!) appreciate these kind *above and beyond* sentiments, because quite often we will shoot in the morning and it may be that I have to work elsewhere in the afternoon with very little time to stop for a break. But that's okay because I get so well looked after in the morning shooting with Luce that actually - my modelling spirit is in full positive buzz and I'm well replenished. 😀 It's these little things which deserve so much credit and shows we models that there are sweet people in our community who do care that we are happy while we work. I am endlessly thankful for this! ❤

So there we have it: another terrific shoot with lush images churned out, another warm and upbeat half day with wonderful company, another few hours spent chatting non-stop about the industry, sound systems and goodness knows what else! And another absolutely glowing reference for this brilliant chap! 👌

Very highly recommended!!!!!

Thank you so much Lucien!

It was lovely to shoot with Lucien; he was kind and relaxed and courteous throughout and he was great at communicating what he was looking for. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others!

I worked with the amazing Lucien whilst in the area visiting one of my favourite studios. Luce was very kind to book me for a half a day photoshoot at his beautiful home and garden and it was so lovely to catch up!! Please excuse the belated reference ~ post wedding madness and I am still catching up on admin! :)

What to say about Lucien?! He is such an endearing gentleman, takes STUNNING photographs and is very kind, extremely hospitable and just a thoroughly lovely, warm person! I have absolutely loved our work together, the natural light photographs are stunning and Luce inspires me to get back into shooting outdoors again ASAP (I need to get a few backdrops for our garden)! Luce also captures women beautifully and artistically and I really appreciate that,

Shooting with Luce also is like shooting with an old friend (less of the old he will say! :) ) and he is such great company I didn't want to leave, I really could natter all day! :)

Luce also puts together the most delicious sandwiches and munchies for models which are on a sideboard staring at you during the shoot- and its impossible not to eat them! :) Very caring and considerate.

I really hope to be able to meet up soon, or on a future photoshoot. I cannot recommended this lovely man highly enough. Helen x

Great first shoot today with LuceD. His pre-comms were spot on and the shoot was organised seamlessly. He was fully prepared even when the weather meant a last minute change of plan and was clear in giving direction. He's also a very interesting person to talk to and conversation flowed easily. Thanks for the booking!
