Born in London, Lacey studied graphic design at the London College of Printing. Upon graduation, Lacey went on to assist the iconic Tim Walker, becoming his first assistant and right hand for five years. This formative time gave Lacey the grounding to launch into her own career in 2006. By utilizing her experience in fantasy narratives and conceptual mediums, Lacey has created her own distinct style as a photographer and director; another icon in the making.

Leading publications such as Vogue Japan have commissioned Lacey consistently over the last few years to shoot their September and March leading fashion / beauty stories, whilst global fashion houses such as Dior, Louis Vuitton and Kate Spade have given Lacey an integral role in their creative branding and vision.

Lacey currently divides her time between New York and London.
