About
August Lovelace is a name that has rapidly come to represent a nuanced blend of the raw and the refined in the world of photography. Descendant from a lineage that includes figures like Ada Lovelace and Lord Byron, Lovelace's roots are planted firmly in both the arts and the sciences, giving her work a depth that is unique to her heritage.
Now operating out of Byron Bay, a charming coastal town named after her ancestor Lord Byron, Lovelace's work is imbued with the undeniable energy and idyllic scenery of her environment. She expertly captures the essence of Byron Bay’s inhabitants and landscapes through medium format film photography, focusing on portraiture and lifestyle images.
Lovelace's photographic style is akin to a painter with a keen understanding of light and shadows. She often navigates the delicate time of golden hours, however, she is not one to shy away from the challenging drama that harsh midday light presents.
The tactile intimacy of film development is a part of Lovelace's process, adding another layer to her connection with her work. This commitment to the craft and her pursuit of authenticity shines through her images, resonating deeply with the viewers.
In the lineage of photographers such as Annie Leibovitz and Vivian Maier, Lovelace aspires to create work that is not only visually compelling but emotionally resonant. Her unique blend of personal narrative, emotional depth, and stunning visuals offers a fresh perspective in the field of photography.
