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 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!

I had a really lovely remote shoot with Lucien recently. Pre shoot comma were exceptional, I knew exactly what we were going to shoot and what items I needed.

During the shoot Lucien was polite, friendly and a joy to work with. We chatted away and it was a really great shoot. Lucien was confident with the software and the time really flew by. He was really lovely to work with and the images looked great. He was happy for me to pose freely which was great in the shoot theme - which he came up with which was Sexy, Sensual and Feminine.

I would highly recommend working with Lucien, fantastic shoot, thank you :)

Elodie Rose

Today was my first shoot with Lucien at his home. We used the garden for our shoot which provided a stunning location. Firstly in front of a vivid blue backdrop then taking advantage of the plants green tones. Our shoot consisted of nude and lingerie.

When I arrived to a very smiley Lucien he introduced himself and then took me around where we were to shoot. He had supplied a lunch and drinks which was a lovely touch. This tog is an absolute pleasure to be around. Very warm and welcoming we talked a lot and laughed just as much.

I can’t wait to see what we have created together, from what I saw off the back of the camera it’s magic.

I very much hope to work with Lucien again. He comes highly recommended.

Thank you for a great shoot and for your hospitality. Xxx

I worked with Lucien for the second time yesterday and I was very much looking forward to working with him again and at the end of the shoot I knew exactly why I was looking forward to it!

Lucien is an absolutely lovely man and excellent photographer! He is so so easy to work with and lovely to talk too. Time literally flies by when working with him which I always take to be a good sign as it means it’s going very well and your having fun!

The weather decided to be pretty awful which meant we had to change our plans slightly but that didn’t stop us at all!

I can’t stress enough just how lovely it is to work with Lucien he is a blooming good photographer and so lovely all at the same time!

So professional, respectful and polite! I don’t have a bad word to say! Provided plenty of refreshments, communications were amazing! I could go on and on! Lucien it’s always a pleasure working with you and I do hope our paths will cross again in the future! If you get a chance to work with Lucien then take it! 200% recommended from me!
