INTERVIEW 005: Lucy Laucht

On book-making, adventure and finding the places your soul feels most happy.

Hi all - welcome back to PP. It’s been a very peaceful. mostly offline week in sunny Spain with the kids and ‘m feeling refreshed and excited to get back into the swing of things. Thank you all for patiently waiting for this update. I know a lot have you have been chomping at the bit to hear from this week’s interviewee, the wonderful Lucy Laucht.

Full disclosure, when Lucy started following my Substack my mouth was slightly hanging open. What could someone so talented, so accomplished, who I had followed the career of for close to a decade at a guess, feel like they might glean from my weekly chit chat? It turns out, after talking over email and this interview, Lucy is the same as all of us photographers; obsessed with her art and photography in general, sometimes full of confidence, sometimes unsure, and trying to make it all work within the peaceful, close-to-nature life she has made for herself in a beautiful, mostly off-grid cottage on the Helford River, in Cornwall. Lucy is someone who follows her heart and hearing her talk about her life so far is so inspiring: full of, change adventure and seeking out the places her soul is most happy.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed recording it. The sound dips in and out a tiny bit due to some slightly ropey countryside internet on both sides but hopefully it’s not too distracting, and any questions you might have, please feel free to ask them below in case Lucy has a moment to reply to them at some point between her travels.
