Lucy Michaela is a multi-disciplinary creative, based in Manchester, UK. She was born in London before moving to a market town in Essex. She started taking photographs in her pre-teens, mostly exploring self-portraiture and abstract video art in an attempt to express herself in a way she felt she couldn't around other people to combat feelings of isolation.
Following a history experimenting with photography, image making, videography and video editing throughout her teens, she developed an interest pursuing a degree in graphic design due to her fascination with visual identity surrounding musicians, film releases and online creators. She is now studying a BA in graphic design at the Manchester school of Art.
She's heavily inspired by cinematography, music and feelings of nostalgia. Vivid and 'glowing' colours are frequently seen in her work as she tries to recreate the immersive world she experienced as a child.
