Lucy Hopegood Photography
Buying innovative, contemporary, lifestyle portraiture is an emotional investment. Like Proust's madeleines, meaningful photographs evoke a lifetime of intense memories.
Lucy's love of photography began when she was given her first camera at the age of 17 and some years ago this enduring passion evolved into a dynamic business.
An intuitive use of natural light and an instinctive understanding of composition, alongside a relaxed rapport with her subjects creates captivating, joyous images.
All Lucy's photographs are taken outdoors: in gardens, woodland, beaches or more urban settings - chosen by her clients... Lucy firmly believes that to enjoy being photographed, both children and adults need to feel relaxed and happy in their surroundings.
The freedom that flows when the confines of a studio are abandoned is evidenced in the finished product: moving, vibrant portraits that give lasting pleasure.
Employing the same relaxed style for her wedding commissions, Lucy creates enchanting visual stories in stunning bespoke albums... capturing the smallest details in addition to the big moments of the wedding day.
Good photography is not just about technical ability, though this clearly plays a part... more it is a love of people, an eye for detail and a keen enjoyment of creating the most beautiful images imaginable.
