Jens photographs people. By themselves, with their pets, their families, their cars. For advertisers, magazines, art exhibitions and private clients. He is based in Los Angeles.
Growing up in a small, picturesque town half way between Berlin and Amsterdam, Jens fell in love with photography at an early age. Ever since his uncle gave him a $5 Agfamatic for his tenth birthday, Lucking has not left the house without a camera.
Drawn by the terrible cuisine and wet weather, he moved to London in 1996. Traveling around the globe for various assignments and personal projects, Jens finally traded his beloved British fish 'n chips for some California sushi and now lives with his lovely wife, Nicole of PLAYFULNEST, and his dragon-obsessed son, Jenson, in Venice Beach.
His award-winning photographs have been sold in major art auctions, featured in worldwide publications and exhibited in numerous galleries and museums in Europe and North America.
