Lacey Terrell received her M.F.A. in Photography from California College of the Arts. She studied under Larry Sultan, J. John Priola, Jim Goldberg, Gilles Peress, Phil Bray (SMPSP), among others, and completed internships at Magnum Photos in New York and Fraenkel Gallery in San Francisco. While in graduate school, Lacey began her project The Passing Ring with the Culpepper & Merriweather Great Combined Circus, and this experience was a natural segue to the film business in Los Angeles where she has been working as a Still Photographer since 1999. She is a member of the Society of Motion Picture Still Photographers (SMPSP) , IATSE Local 600 and a Nominee for Excellence in Still Photography / Publicist Awards 2023.

Lacey was selected for PDN’s “The Curator” as well as CPW’s “Photography Now” for her series, offSET, which is inspired by her career in showbiz. She has been invited to attend Review Santa Fe (2003, 2008-2011, 2014) and has received several awards and honorable mentions within the fine art photography community since 2009, including an honorable mention in Center’s Project Competition for The Passing Ring.

In addition to gallery exhibitions, her images have been featured via various platforms including: PDN, TIME Light Box, Lenscratch, Le Journal de la Photographie, The Oxford American, Daylight Magazine Podcast, Fabrik Magazine, The Photo Review and 20×200.
