National Portrait Gallery / The Story Of A Simple Portrait

After taking on all manner of photographic work to earn a crust, I would say one of my proudest moments was when I received an unexpected letter from a client saying he had sent the image I had taken of him to the National Portrait Gallery, along with 3 others, and they want mine... am I OK with that? Well what could I say, I would have to think about it.....of course I didn't! I was ecstatic and my chest was well and truly puffed! https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/person/mp141596/lucinda-batchelor When I was initially asked to take the picture I remember thinking 'blimey, I have to make this count', and if the truth be...

The Language of Flowers - Bleeding Heart

The Language of Flowers - Bleeding Heart

Flowers hold many symbolic meanings, from the colours of roses to the sentiments when given as gifts. For me the Bleeding Heart, just by its very name let alone of its form, is one of the most romantic. Symbolising love, passion, unrequited love or a broken heart.

The Last Nudist

‘The Last Nudist’. https://lucindabatchelor.com Whilst walking along the headland last summer above the beautiful Pendvounder beach in Cornwall, I spotted a young woman following the last rays of sun, I watched as she moved with the light, eventually finding herself against the cliffs embracing those last warm rays, I was so envious of her, naked, warm, uninhibited.

My giclee prints are produced using the finest thick art papers which produce a beautifully rich velvety...
