Boulder. She studied under Larry Sultan, Jim Goldberg, J. John Priola, Albert Chong, Gilles Peress, and completed internships at Magnum Photos in New York and Fraenkel Gallery in San Francisco. While in graduate school, Lacey began her long term project, The Passing Ring, with the Culpepper & Merriweather Great Combined Circus, and this experience was a natural segue to the film business in Los Angeles where she has been working as a Still Photographer since 1999.
Lacey was selected for PDN’s “The Curator” as well as Center for Photography at Woodstock’s “Photography Now” for her series, offSET, which is inspired by her career in showbiz. She was invited to attend Review Santa Fe several times and has received a variety of awards and mentions within the photography community since 2009, including an Honorable Mention in CENTER’s “Project Competition” for the first chapter of The Passing Ring. Lacey’s work has been featured in print and on various platforms including: PDN, TIME Light Box, Lenscratch, Le Journal de la Photographie, Daylight Magazine Podcast, Fabrik Magazine, The Photo Review and 20×200.
A member of the Society of Motion Picture Still Photographers and IATSE Local 600, her recent film credits include Romy & Michele 2, Daisy Jones and the Six, I Want Your Sex, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, Happiest Season, Hillbilly Elegy and her pictures have appeared as billboards and in numerous entertainment related publications.
Lacey’s art practice involves photographic projects as well as conceptual, photo-based mixed media work – investigating notions of identity, performance and the crossroads of artifice and reality in various Wonderlands.
Stay tuned for her unreleased project Incomplete Pleasures that Bewitch Me, a multi year journey exploring the power of music.
