Lucy Carolan

I'm a photographer with an international practice spanning three decades of varied commissioned and self-initiated works. After graduating with an MA in Photography from the Royal College of Art in 1988, I worked in Magnum Photo's London office, then as a researcher on the picture desks of newspapers and magazines before moving to France, where I freelanced as photographer 1991-2002. I have been co-founder of two artist-led organisations - photography collective Wideyed (est. 2008), and its offshoot project The Lostness Club (est. 2015) - with which I've undertaken a wide variety of award-winning commissioned and personal projects, participated in arts festivals, fairs and residencies, and exhibited nationally and internationally. I'm currently undertaking a Northern Bridge funded, practice-based fine art PhD at Newcastle University.
