INTIMATE PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER IN LONDON & CAMBRIDGE

Hello!

Let me take this chance to tell you that you are allowed to take up space.

You owe it to yourself, your relationships, your business.

I'm Lu, and I photograph people who are done shrinking.

Intimate [noun]

​Inspired by the Italian word intimo, for me it describes the deepest, most secret place in your soul, nella tua anima.

The intimate touch, il tocco intimo, seeks connection and meaning, it seeks closeness.

 

It's the feeling of being completely safe within yourself, and allowing yourself to just be.

Written by L

"I’ve always wanted to do a boudoir style shoot, but never quite had the confidence until now. When looking at your work, it spoke to me: it feels so natural because you create images that aren’t traditionally for the male gaze."

Trust them:

"When I found your work, I just loved it so much. I wouldn't have done this with anyone else.

When we worked together, I felt 100% comfortable and empowered."

Written by Jen

"After seeing the images, I am so proud of my body, what it has been through, and what I am still to achieve in it. Photography is such a beautiful way to connect with our bodies, and I have never seen anyone do it in the same way as Lu."

I am a body positive photographer, and yes, there's a story behind that.

I used to hide too.

 

I grew up in Italy in the 90s: I never fit beauty standards, and I never felt enough.
 

It's taken me most of my adult life to find my way back to myself, and photography is the main reason I got there.
 

That's why I do this work: I am not here to make you look "prettier", but to show you what I already see when I look at you because you are enough as you are.

Empowering portrait photography
for people who want to be seen.

If you made it this far, you probably know that I get it.

Trust me when I tell you that you weren't born hating your body: society taught you to shrink, to adapt, to conform, and I've had enough.

If you are one of those people who is fed up with waiting, hiding, and serving the patriarchy, grab a cuppa.

We need to talk. 

Ready to be seen?

You are a limited edition of one.

 

You don't need to change a single thing about your body to do this.
