Lucy Deverall is a queer Australian photographer currently based in Berlin. Always drawn to creativity, Lucy studied Photography at the University of Technology Sydney and has since worked in curation, design, and photography across Europe and Australia. Her work is a nod of the head toward beauty, intimacy, and fluidity. Drawing on the twin states of choice and compulsion, intimacy and distance, comfort and unease, her images offer an intimate vision of female, queer identity.

I would describe my style as Poetic Documentary, Intimate Portraiture, Still Life. My images bounce between subject matter quite fluidly. Intimacy, desire, and sex are themes that I am constantly circling. I make sure to have some time surrounding the act of taking photos so it can be filled with conversation, collaboration, and exploring ideas together. Vulnerability is something that I like to bring into my imagery, so it is important I share as much of myself as possible. Through this, queerness has also emerged as a central theme in my work. Exploring identity with friends, lovers, and partners over the years has resulted in a soft language where queerness is allowed to exist in many forms/frames.

Having just moved from Sydney, Australia, to Berlin, I am looking to build more of a creative community and start shooting longer-term projects. I am currently working on a project with a tentative title, Milk Teeth, which explores finding connection through intuition and looks at the signs and symbols of lust, love, and friendship paired with isolation, vulnerability, and dislocation.
