Photographer's Profile

Jens Lucking

Jens Lucking Photography Inc., United States

Growing up in a small, picturesque town half way between Berlin and Amsterdam, Jens fell in love with photography at an early age. Obsessed with exotic cars, he kept borrowing his father's Mamiya to create lasting memories of 4-wheeled Italian beauties in the Seventies. Ever since his uncle presented him with a $5 Agfamatic Pocket for his tenth birthday, Lucking has not left the house without a camera. Drawn by the terrible cuisine and wet weather, he moved to London in 1996. Traveling around the globe for commercial and personal projects, Jens finally traded the English capital for the eternal California sunshine and now lives with his lovely wife and young son in Venice Beach. His works have been sold to international clients, amassed a multitude of awards, ranging from the International Photography Awards and American Photographic Artists to Communication Arts and the National Photographic Portrait Prize, showing in galleries in Europe and North America, and supporting local charities, including the Venice Family Clinic and Venice Arts, where Lucking mentored children in photography.
