What is Kakigōri Photography?
Kakigōri (かき氷) is a Japanese shaved ice dessert. It was Lucy's favourite while she lived and worked in Wakayama city in 2010. She signed up for Instagram with this pseudonym in 2017 and it has been with her since. As much of her work and recognition has come through Instagram, Lucy has kept the account name to help other professionals recognise her.
