Horses & Humans
Lucy Sewill has photographed some of our most familiar and well loved faces and become known for her particular style of one-on-one personal portraiture. Her work has hung in the National Portrait Gallery and on other prestigious walls. In this remarkable new collection of her work, renowned portrait photographer Lucy Sewill turns her lens to the animals that she has loved her whole life, revealing the amazing bond that they have with their owners and handlers. A project that takes her across Britain, to Ireland, the United States and North Africa, Lucy strips away physical and mental clutter to take a series of intimate portraits that give the reader a glimpse of what goes on in the minds of the magnificent creatures we share our lives with.
Lucy’s powerful and sensitive interpretation of the animal I know so well. It is rare to find a photographer who captures their essence quite so successfully as Lucy Sewill. Her passion and background with horses have given her a clear advantage when it comes to capturing our equestrian friends.

This is a lady who brings to her pages a love of horses , a desire to create a better world for them and an artistic skill with a camera. This with an internal understanding of how to read the souls of the individuals in her lens.

Dogs and Their Humans
With a foreword by Gok Wan Dogs have a special chemistry with humans that goes back many tens of thousands of years. In this remarkable new collection of photographs, renowned portrait photographer Lucy Sewill turns her lens to man's best friend and the bond that they have with some of the nation's favourite celebrities. Lucy's intimate portraits give the reader a glimpse of some remarkable, and previously unseen, relationships between some well-known faces and their favourite pets. The result is a revealing series of photographs revealing some truly beautiful bonds.Subjects include: Stylist and presenter Gok Wan and Dolly Dishcloth; 1980s founding father of synth pop Gary Numan; BBC Radio DJ Sara Cox and Dolly; Spandau Ballet musician and actor Gary Kemp and Piper; actor Martin Clunes; BBC Breakfast presenter Louise Minchin and Waffle; farmer and Countryfile presenter Adam Henson; `the Dancing Vicar' Rev Richard Coles and H; Telegraph cartoonist Matt and Reg; Made in Chelsea's Francis Boulle and Buddy.
I love the picture of Dolly and I - it shows our connection together, but it also shows our aloofness. How Lucy has managed to capture the relationship with dogs and their owners is quite unique.
