documenting people & places
My documentary work is where my love for storytelling began. Before weddings and lifestyle became my main focus, I trained in film and spent years exploring stories of identity, culture, and community through the lens of documentary.
This page is a home for the projects that continue to shape the way I see the world — honest, thoughtful, and deeply human.
Photojournalism
My passion for photography has taken me all around the world, capturing the stories of humanity and the unique cultures of each place that I visit. With each shot, I strive to tell a meaningful story and to create a work of art that speaks to the heart.
I want to show the world that there is more to a place than meets the eye. Through my lens, I want to capture the beauty of the people and the places I encounter, and tell the stories of their lives. Join me on my journey to discover the world and to make a difference.
Heritage Recipes
A YouTube series created by Lucy Sally Sommer, where food becomes the entry point to stories of migration, culture, and family tradition. I had the privilege of helping document these conversations — capturing the warmth, nostalgia, and shared humanity found in kitchens across different backgrounds.
