Lucas Lenci studied Industrial Design at the Faculty of Fine Arts in São Paulo and Photography at the Panamerican School of Arts. He worked for many years producing images with important names in Brazilian and foreign photography, both for the advertising and editorial markets. In 2005, he lived for a while in New York, a period that had a great influence on his personal work.
His work has been exhibited in important institutions such as the Palais des Nations (Geneva), SESC Santana (São Paulo), the Novíssimas Escuelas Latinoamericanas de Fotografia Creativa (Madrid), and the Museu Brasileiro de Escultura (São Paulo). His book "Desaudioä (2013) was a finalist for the 2014 Jabuti Prize and third place in the Prix de la Photographie de Paris.
As an author, he has published four photobooks, all of which have been internationally acclaimed, having been launched in Paris and New York.
He created the "Quarentena Books" project, where 8 photographers and 8 designers created books remotely during quarantine, and whose profits were donated to communities most exposed to the pandemic.
He currently divides his time between working as an executive at the Stickel Foundation, a non-profit organization in São Paulo that promotes improvements in the education of the most vulnerable people through the arts.
