Lucas Birtles is a photographer, writer and curator living in Bristol, UK, who recently graduated from UWE with a First-Class Honors in Photography.

Through his interest in the motivations behind people’s actions and by looking at human connections through personal narratives, he attempts to explore our collective psyche further.

His written work looks at the curiosity of short stories and critical moments, often leaving more unanswered questions than what began.
