Brent Lukey (he/him) is a professional photographer specialising in portraiture and interiors.
In addition to this commissioned work, Brent follows an art practice in both the street and the studio. These photographs capture the way time and place can reflect our sense of self, and the way we interact with the spaces around us. Our identity, vulnerability and intimacy with each other and objects.
Brent’s photographic work includes commissioned portraits, editorial interiors and architecture, large and small commercial projects, film and theatre stills, children’s books, and events.
Brent has been a finalist in the Moran Photographic Prize, the Perc Tucker Photographic Portrait Prize, the Australian Photography Awards (documentary) and the Bluethumb Art Prize. His work has been exhibited in galleries and published in books and magazines.
Brent is available by appointment, so call or email to arrange a meeting, he works from a studio in Southbank, Naarm/Melbourne.

That’s probably enough, but if you want to know a little more, read on.
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.
Other than photography he prefers nothing better than hanging out with his partner Donna and their three daughters, eating homemade pizza and drinking pinot noir (or maybe Tempranillo). Donna used to work alongside Brent, styling, rigging, and assisting, but since the birth of their first child (18 years ago) has remained in the office – where she has to listen to him go on and on and on.
He has a current Working with Children Check.
He has a COVID Safe plan.

I respectfully acknowledge the Bunurong Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation as the traditional custodians of the lands on which I live and work. I pay my deepest respect to Elders past, present and emerging. Sovereignty has never been ceded.
