Lucinda Chua

Lucinda Chua works as a freelance photographer and has photographed celebrities including comedians and actors David Mitchell and Rob Brydon, writer and commentator Germaine Greer and Olympic cyclist Chris Hoy. She has just shot her first book cover for Faber and Faber, Charlie Brooker's "The Hell of it all" to be published at Christmas 2009.

Lucinda Chua graduated in 2007 with a first class BA Hons in Photography from Nottingham Trent University, and then spent a month working in the USA after winning fellowship for an artist’s residency at the Vermont Studio Centre.

In early 2009 Lucinda had her first solo show at Nottingham's Lakeside Art Centre. Now based in London, Lucinda is still making and exhibiting her work. She has had a solo show at the Bermondsey Square gallery and exhibited work in the Wolverhampton Art Gallery.

Lucinda is taking three pieces from her Double Portrait Series to the Biennale, which she describes as: “Two independently taken formal portraits merged together, creating a composite photograph where sitters appear to have shared the same moment in time.”

She is thrilled to be part of the Biennale: “I feel very proud and honoured to be going to Macedonia representing Nottingham Trent University (and the UK!)”
