Hi, we’re Ari and Lucy – two female street-style photographers and good friends based in London. Our story started back in 2014, when we met on Instagram, the very place we still love for sharing our creativity and the way we see the world.

Our little duo grew out of a shared obsession with candid moments. We’ve always believed the best ones can’t be staged or repeated – they happen in a split second and then they’re gone, just like at weddings and parties.

That’s why we work as a team. With both of us behind the cameras, nothing slips by unnoticed, however small.

Photography is a part of me that means so much. It’s a form of expression. It’s mindfulness. It’s a friend and an educator. But, above all, it’s fun. The thrill of getting that great shot is pretty special. And just imagining that my photography might live on with someone else makes me really giddy.

I have collaborated with Carnaby Magazine, ACE Club, Sonos, Google Pixel, House of Peroni and London Fashion Week to name a few. In 2015 I was one of British Airways photography competition winners, which led to me shooting part of their campaign in Positano, Italy. The image I shot was afterwards displayed on Piccadilly Circus’s famous neon billboard and all over London Underground. One of my biggest highlights from 2019 was having my work feature in the award-winning Trope London Book, and being part of Trope’s London Exhibition. I’ve also been featured photographer with Trope Reader and share interviews on their Reader blog.

I’ve always had this curious appetite for understanding people. I’m fascinated by human behaviour, and how we are all so different. I want to capture something about the people I see, but at the same time I like to create my own version of who I think the person is. I observe a lot, and I look for those little flickers that catch my eye, those moments that you may overlook, stolen seconds and blink-and-you’ll-miss-them glances. What I really love about photography is that, without explanation, photos cannot be read by any two people the same, as each person will use their own past experiences and memories to interpret the image into emotion and then words.

I’ve had the honour of working with brands such as Huawei and Nokia, and in 2019 my work was featured in the award-winning Trope London Book and accompanying exhibition. Shortly after that an even bigger dream came true! My first solo book Unfinished Stories was published, a collection of photographs and words that capture the daily lives of people: on the street, in trains and at cafés, going through their day often without much thought or notice.
