"Every time I see a new album and I look at the cover shots and think 'Those are good!' or 'Those or innovative!' or 'Those are clever!' - I look in the album notes and I go 'Oh! Elly Lucas!'" - Genevieve Tudor, BBC Radio

"She's a wonderful photographer and fiddle player and a fantastic songwriter and singer, but she really does have an eye for a picture. You give her half an hour with someone and she's come up with these gorgeous images! But as you say, everyone who's anyone on the folk scene at the moment is getting photos by Elly and it's a great thing."- Lucy Ward 

"During my singing career I have worked with many photographers at various events, but I can honestly say that Elly has been the most pleasant to work with. She never makes her subjects feel uncomfortable and continually encourages them to act individually as well as portray her ideas. Kind, caring, professional and intelligent, I couldn't recommend her more." - Jamie Lambert
