Thursday, December 17,
6:30-8:00pm

On Thursday, December 17, 6:30-8:00pm, the Annenberg Space for Photography is pleased to offer a lecture by Lucy Nicholson.

Lucy Nicholson is a senior staff photographer with Reuters News Pictures. She is experienced in photography, video and multimedia production; and brings to each tremendous skill and a world's eye view. Born in London, Nicholson is currently based in Los Angeles, and has worked as a photographer in Mexico City, Chile, and Northern Ireland.

Nicholson photographs sporting events such as the Olympics, Super Bowls, NBA Finals, Stanley Cup hockey, World Series baseball, and U.S. Open tennis. She has been awarded twice for her sports photos in the annual Sports Shooter's Hall of Fame Contest and received recognition in the 2005 China International Press Photo Contest, the 2006 PDN/Nikon Self-Promotion Awards, and the 2007 Editor & Publisher's Photos of the Year contest. She received an Honourable Mention as one of the 'Emerging Photographers of 2006' by Magenta Publishing for the Arts.

She also covers news and features in Los Angeles and beyond. Her photos frequently appear in publications such as TIME, Newsweek, The Washington Post, The New York Times, USA Today, Sports Illustrated, and MSNBC.

During the presentation, Nicholson will talk about what is involved in covering major sporting events for Reuters, and her approach to shooting sports creatively. Be sure to catch this rare opportunity to hear a female perspective from a predominantly male genre.
