PHOTOGRAPHERS' SHOOT OUT Jul 2010

Lucia Humer was born in Bratislava, Slovakia, where she studied at the Academy of Fine Arts. At the beginning of her career she worked as a graphical designer, a position that helped her learn about post production for her later photography. She has been shooting fashion photographs for four years.

"For me, photography means the binding between beauty and art, combining them in one moment and in one shot," she says. "It all starts with an idea, but on set this idea is reborn thanks to the work of a lot of people who collectively produce a great final output."

Lucia works for modelling agencies and fashion designers from Austria, Switzerland and Germany, and is currently seeking representation in other countries.

"I got to know the Slovakian model, Monika Reiterova, when she was living in Spain. Her dream is to become a top model. The Idea for the editorial was to present fashion from LK-look as youthfully as possible. Everyone searches to realise their dreams and many dreams are like fairytales, but it is possible to find your way to the target.”
