I'm Lucky, the person behind the lens
I'm based in Melbourne, Australia, yet also available for work outside of Victoria.
I believe in photos that feel like truth — even in performance. Even when we’re shooting Promo or even Headshots. I’m here to hold space, crack a few awkward jokes, and find that sweet spot where you actually feel seen. Properly, wholly, beautifully seen; glitter, nerves, weird laugh and all.
This isn’t just about nice lighting and sharp focus. It’s about building something together; a moment, a mood, a story that means something to you. The kind of photo that makes you stop and go,
“Wow. That’s me.”
That’s the good stuff.
That’s what I’m in it for.
I work with artists and performers to create images that feel like them, whether that means something polished, gritty, playful, powerful, or a little bit of everything.
My work includes:
- Live performance photography: burlesque, drag, cabaret, comedy, and more
- Promo shoots: tailored to your vibe, your vision, your show
- Headshots: honest, expressive portraits that feel like you
- Behind-the-scenes and documentary: the real stuff, the moments most people miss
Whatever we’re making together, it starts with curiosity, collaboration, and the goal of capturing something real.
My Approach
My approach is collaborative, relaxed, and yes sometimes a bit awkward (but in the good way).
We chat, we experiment, we lean into the weird bits. I’ll guide you when you need it
and step back when you’ve found your rhythm.
Whether it’s a quick headshot or a full-day shoot,
I want you to leave feeling like you were truly seen.

Why Performance Photography?
That deep, raw emotion? It grabs me. The buzz, the hush, the belly laughs, and the hush before the roar. I’m after that spark in every shot. Not just the image, but the pulse, the messy, beautiful magic that connects us beyond words.
I’ve always been drawn to performers. Maybe because I’ve been around them so much. My partner and friends work and perform in theatres, and so I’ve spent years quietly watching artists light up rooms, onstage and off. Even in the little moments, side-of-stage chats, pre-show rituals, you can feel it: they’re doing what they love. And there’s a kind of everyday magic in that. That’s what made me pick up my camera with purpose.
When I watch a performance, my whole world drops away. Time stops and everything from my usual day-to-day noise fades out. Maybe it's partly because of my neurodivergence, maybe its partly an outcome of having Aphantasia, but the lighting, the movement, the intention on stage pulls me in completely. It’s like a shortcut to a soul-to-soul chat, where every feeling, every detail, lands right in my chest.
Performance happens in a blink. Glitter cannons, water sprays, quiet connections with your audience, and total chaos all at once. Photography is the pause button that holds those wild, fleeting moments still. I’ve stopped time on some pretty incredible stuff, and that frozen magic is yours to keep, to look back on, and to feel again.
Performers never get to watch themselves perform. I get to be the one who does, then show it back to you.
We can't just skip to opening night.
