A fine art landscape photographer and managing director of design studio Chalet Alpin, Luce is a specialist in information mapping, editorial photography, graphic design and visual communication.
Inspired by exploration, Luce’s arts practice documents experiences of journeys through a collection of written and visual details. An archival record of photographs, drawings, routes, itineraries, weather reports and kit lists are made for each cycle tour, walk, field trip, climb or expedition. New online photographic work looks at a relationship of people and place through a growing archive of photography-led narratives – the twin sites of mappalogue and guidetohere show details of field studies, reports, artworks, exhibitions, recent publications, commissions and residencies. In May 2010, Luce moved back to the UK from Argentière Haute Savoie having spent two years making work in the Chamonix valley, France.
The main focus for the design studio is in the development and production of the Foldedsheet range of paper-based publications and resources. These include commissions from UK and EU education institutions, large and small organisations, and individual projects. Initially working with partners across a range of activities within the arts, education, and culture sector, Foldedsheet has since developed links with other disciplines including: geography, sustainability, heritage, and more recently KS2 level STEM subjects. Other studio work encompasses branding and identity, presentation materials and exhibition catalogues and associated literature.
