http://www.lightstalkers.org/luca_sage Luca Sage (b.1973) is a photographer based in Brighton and London. Initially studying Social Anthropology and Development studies, it was a few years later before he studied Photography at the University of Brighton. Luca gained a first class honours degree and during his studies managed to be selected for the prestigious Schweppes Portrait Prize 2003, runner up in both the Fujifilm Student Awards 2004 and the Spectrum Student Awards 2002. Luca's documentary projects often seem to highlight similarities between cultures, rather than the differences, in an attempt to offer a different view to the mass-media stereotyped images, which only seem to breed more ignorance rather than understanding. Since leaving college in 2004 Luca Sage has been regularly commissioned by magazines such as The Saturday Telegraph, The Guardian, The Sunday Independent and Monocle Magazine (the new magazine by the founder of Wallpaper). Luca Sage has been shortlisted for the National Portrait Prize 2007, the exhibition will take place at the National Portrait Gallery, London, from November '07 to Feb '08. His documentary projects have so far taken him to India, Lithuania, Malawi, Northern Ireland and Serbia. His diverse interests include everything from nuclear bunkers and secret police tourist attractions to unconditional love and Indian matrimonial dating agencies. Luca Sage specialises in both landscapes and portraiture mediums, fusing both within bodies of work to give a more holistic form of expression. Since 2006 Luca Sage has been a member of Young Photographers United, a global collective for new creatives.
