Lucifer Divine believes in the expansive powers of curiosity, creativity, pleasure, and pain.
They struggle and rejoice daily in the making of a world where people are empowered in their truest autonomy and agency. Lucifer delights in the act of creation, no matter the medium.
Lucifer’s work tempts the viewer to observe the contrasts and compliments of lightness and darkness before them and to be driven with curiosity to observe the same phenomena within themselves. Their photographic practice is rooted in a love of play – experimentation and exploration are central. They enjoy pushing the boundaries of the medium and delight in practical effect work.
Lucifer received their first camera as a 9th birthday present; it was a 1977 35mm Asahi Pentax and it is a part of the beloved tool kit they use to create with to this day. One of Luci’s first gigs was shooting live music at local venues, a habit they are likely to never break. They also spent time from 2010-2015 as an apprentice and assistant for both wedding and high fashion photography and have enjoyed having their work be published in magazines in multiple countries. Lucifer’s photography has been featured in numerous publications including Real Weddings & Trend Prive Magazine.
After 5 high-volume wedding seasons bookended with high-pressure contracts, Luci took a summer break to reconnect with their love of analog photography and live performance. After a season backpacking and couchsurfing their way across the West Coast, they emerged with a fire rekindled by the artists they witnessed along the way. Lucifer’s dearest desire is to capture those ephemeral, illuminating, intimate moments that make life worth living and honoring the beautiful people and communities that birth them.
Lucifer loves creating art with fellow Sex Workers, Kinksters, Fetishists, and those who enjoy them.
