Brent Lukey (he/him) is a professional photographer specialising in portraiture and interiors. 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 (documentary).
In addition to his commissioned work Brent follows an art practice in both the street and the studio. These photographs consider the way time and place can reflect our sense of self, our identity and our interactions with the spaces and objects around us.
He works from a studio in Southbank, Naarm/Melbourne. Brent’s practice is supported by the City of Melbourne’s Creative Spaces program – Boyd Studios.

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 (19 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.
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.
