Elijah Lucio
My Digital Portfolio.
Born in Manhattan, raised primarily in Miami, and now residing in Switzerland (and regularly exploring Europe), Elijah Lucio is an atypical American teen with an international perspective on life, art, culture and society. He has a joie de vivre when it comes to meeting new people and learning about new places. Yet throughout his travels, he’s maintained one constant – a steady perspective behind the lens. There’s a sense of centeredness in his images, one that defies a life of constant movement.
Raised by two creative parents, Elijah was encouraged from early childhood to explore and develop his artistic passions, applications and curiosity. He’s gone through scores of cameras, video devices and YouTube profiles as he dedicated his free time to capturing and editing moving images. He now wants to explore not just what goes on behind and after the camera, but the entirety of the process of delivering media to an audience. His career interest lies in becoming a producer for film and television -- again, being that steady hand in the midst of what can be a frenetic situation.
Elijah draws inspiration from films like The Thing (1982), Taxi Driver, and Isle of Dogs, as well as books like 1984, Matterhorn, and Frankenstein (1818). The collision of science and art into a unique narrative is what excites him, and he is exploring that through his personal works and is looking to align himself with a studio that creates fascinating and inventive ways of seeking truth and uncovering the future.
