Welcome to my website!

My name is Daphne Lucker, a director and photographer based in Amsterdam. On this website I’ll give you a glimpse of the worlds I like to create trough (moving) images and sound.

I graduated from the Netherlands Film Academy with the short film SISTERS.  With this film we have won several prizes. I directed my first film for television called ‘Echo’ for the series "My street" for the NTR, BNNVARA and VPRO.

From 2018 until 2020 I studied at the Academy for Photography in Amsterdam developing my visual style as a photographer.

My work has a poetic, theatrical and physical emphasis. The stories I choose to tell often take place within the family circle where I search for visually interesting ways to externalize the inner struggles of my characters.

I am currently working on a new dancefilm called ‘Her Body’ which got funded by ‘Filmfonds shorts’ and developping a treatment for the feature length film ‘VLAM’ written by Rosita Wolkers for the last edition of ‘de Oversteek’.
