Life and work

A self-taught photographer, Brighton-born Luchford left school at 15 and moved to London, where he worked at a hair salon. [3]

He worked as a photographer for The Face magazine at age 20. Luchford first signed with New York based agency Art + Commerce at the age of 24. He was one of the first photographers to collaborate with model Kate Moss. [3] In 1997, he signed exclusively to Prada, and has since shot advertising campaigns for Yves Saint Laurent, Givenchy, Chloé, Lanvin, Calvin Klein, and Gucci. He has collaborated extensively with British artist Jenny Saville with shows at the Gagosian Gallery. His editorial work has been featured in magazines such as The Face, Arena , i-D , and British , French , American , Italian Vogue magazines, Harper's Bazaar , and Self Service Magazine.[ citation needed ]

Luchford's style is influenced by his love of cinema. His signature look is to work with cinematic lighting, both on location and in studio.[ citation needed ]

In 2001, Luchford directed the film Here to Where, about a filmmaker wanting to make a film about a man stranded at an airport. [4] Nominated for the Michael Powell award at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, the film is considered to be an inspiration for Steven Spielberg's The Terminal . [5]

In 2009, Luchford joined artist management agency Art Partner. [6]

Luchford collaborated with Alessandro Michele on the re-branding of Gucci after Michele's appointment as the brand's Creative Director in 2015. [6] [7] He photographed the designer's first campaigns, [8] and created a brand new image of Gucci with Michele. His cinematic approach on the images took Gucci away from the sexualised campaigns of Michele's predecessor Frida Giannini and the Tom Ford era. He photographed Gucci's campaigns until Spring Summer 2020. [9]

Jennifer Anne Saville is a contemporary British painter and an original member of the Young British Artists. Saville works and lives in Oxford, England and she is known for her large-scale painted depictions of nude women. Saville has been credited with originating a new and challenging method of painting the female nude and reinventing figure painting for contemporary art. Some paintings are of small dimensions, while other are of much larger scale. Monumental subjects come from pathology textbooks that she has studied that informed her on injury to bruise, burns, and deformity. John Gray commented: "As I see it, Jenny Saville's work expresses a parallel project of reclaiming the body from personality. Saville worked with many models who underwent cosmetic surgery to reshape a portion of their body. In doing that, she captures "marks of personality for the flesh" and together embraces how we can be the writers of our own lives."
