Brent Lukey

Brent Lukey (he/him) is a freelance professional photographer and visual artist. He regularly photographs portraits of artists and creatives. His work has been a finalist in the Olive Cotton Award, Moran Photographic Prize, Perc Tucker Photographic Portrait Prize, and the Australian Photography Awards.

He works from a studio in Southbank, Naarm/Melbourne.

Fascinated by culture and storytelling, he studied Anthropology and Cinema Studies at La Trobe University then Film and Multimedia at Swinburne University. Back when music was released on vinyl he played in a cracking and offensive punk rock band, he gave up rock music for 16mm film-making (and won some impressive awards) but found the process expensive and slow. Still photography – his teenage passion – eventually caught up and took over.
