Lucía Izco

For our latest article, we did a fun interview with Argentine photographer Lucía Izco. Find out more about some of her favorite things!

Intercru: What’s your favorite movie of all time?

Lucía: I have 3 favorite movies.

-Melancholia by Lars Von Trier
-La Ciénaga by Lucrecia Martel
-Romeo & Juliet by Baz Luhrmann

They are three completely different films and they represent the essence of what I like to photograph: mystery, death, women, atmospheres, and fantasy.

What was your favorite subject in school?

Art and natural sciences, because they are two different subjects which complement each other.

Do you prefer cats or dogs?

I prefer cats, because, in my opinion, they seem to be beings from another planet. They have understood the meaning of everything. Besides, they are here to rest and accompany humanity.

What’s the best vacation you’ve ever had?

Last summer in my town, a camp with my little niece in the middle of the field under the stars.

What’s your favorite season/time of the year?

Summer!

How did you get started in photography?

I started when I was very young, 8 or 9 years old I think. I photographed I photographed my toys, Barbies and my cats with my analog camera haha.

Who is your personal hero?

I don’t believe in heroes, but I adore Thom Yorke and Tori Amos.
