Lucy Murray-Willis is a photo editor at The Atlantic Magazine, where she develops visual concepts, pitches, and produces a wide range of shoots — from high-profile portraits to longform stories on climate, politics, and archival, investigative stories. Her work is rooted in collaboration and narrative-driven photography.

Alongside her editorial work, Lucy is a painter and photographer. What began as a personal response to grief has become a practice focused on nature, time, and movement — through small landscapes and large abstract works. She releases new paintings monthly and has shown work in open studios and small shows in New York.

Her artistic and editorial practices often overlap, with her artwork featured in photo essays, and online stories — blending personal expression with visual storytelling.
