Lucas Messerer has one thing you can’t learn at university, be taught by anyone else or buy in a camera shop – pure talent! Lucas has an amazing ability to create strong photographic looks almost like magic. He also has a great eye for composition and colour. When we’ve shot together, ideas we’ve just played with have become some of the most seminal pictures taken of me ever. The unique qualities of his work have crucially assisted in the furthering of my professional brand and in the creation of excellent assets for my business. To cap it all off, a shoot with him is always a pleasure. He is easily one of the most likeable, respectful and astute people I know – as well as having the knack of making me feel comfortable in a shoot.
I wish Lucas the very best in all his creative endeavours and I look forward to our next shoot!

The Australian BDSM/fetish scene is very well served by the photo artistry of Soul Focus Studio. Lucas Messerer has the right eye for capturing the true essence of a dominant or fetishistic woman. Like any good portraitist or paparazzo, his expansive personality wins over his subjects and gets him the perfect shot. I admire his lens work and I can’t wait to find the right model so Luke can shoot one of my upcoming covers.

I have never enjoyed having my picture taken, however, when I was being photographed by Lucas i felt relaxed, respected and powerful. The results were a true representation of how I felt on that day. I have recommended him to my friends, and I have arranged for him to take a family portrait, as he also does “tame” photography. This man is a genius in his own field, it is a true pleasure to know him, and his art.

Lucas is a truly inspiring photographer. Prior to shooting for Soul Focus Studio, I was a complete novice and actually rather camera shy. Lucas’s good humour and patient guidance helped me to develop my confidence in front of the lens. I am delighted with the wonderfully atmospheric images Lucas produced for my portfolio. His striking approach, working with bold shapes, strong contrasts and dramatic perspectives, brilliantly expresses my sense of style and the image I want to project in my work as a burlesque artist. Working with Lucas was huge pleasure and I look forward to creating more wonderful photographs with him in future.
