Skye Lizzie Photography

 

Hello.


I am a self-taught documentary photographer working on Wadawurrung land (Geelong) Australia. My work explores themes of familial life and attachment through film and digital photography. Intrigued by the connection with people around me, particularly my own children, I love chronicling the varied stages of kinship.


I was born in country Victoria, and throughout schooling always felt the pull towards the creative arts. I often think back to these teen years (my younger sister as my first muse and model) and remember the drive to create moments of beauty. By the water tank and amongst the fruit trees in the warm Mallee evenings. It’s because of photography we remember all the little details and how we felt at the time.


Currently, I am working on an evolving series titled ‘After Naps’, exploring the importance of friendships formed between  mothers. A relationship primed for longevity, one of solidarity and understanding. One not often documented. For more information on being a part of this series, please be in touch.


I love to focus on unfiltered moments, a pause between 'the' photo. There’s tenderness in that, and truth. My approach is to capture more than just faces, but feeling. I lean into movement, natural light and connection to create images that have depth - fleeting glances, wind in hair, little hands, the space between people.


It's less about posing and more about presence, finding beauty in everyday life.


Testimonials
35mm film photography

I just opened up my Gallery of images & I am blown away. I love every photo of my daughter and I. I have hardly any photos of me mothering so this means the world to me. Lucy was such a calm and soothing energy while we were nervous to have our picture taken, the whole experience was so lovely that I would do it again in a heart beat to have these beautiful timeless images. Thank you Lucy.

How Lucky to have stumbled upon Lucy’s profile accidentally one day. We have had two sessions with Lucy now. For someone who is not a fan of being photographed, working with Lucy was so easy and effortless. The session we had did not feel forced or scripted but rather like a lovely family time, while we did our own thing. Lucy captured our little family moments so beautifully that we will cherish it forever. Thank you Lucy.

Lucy has this innate creative talent in the way she captures authentic, beautiful family moments. I am so glad I chose her to take our family photos- she connected so effortlessly with my kids making the session both relaxed and fun.
