The HAMMER TIME series is an ongoing project started in 2012. The images depict motorists lying under their vehicles holding a hammer. Taking great care in matching models, props and outfits with a variety of cars, the series has grown to a selection of 3 main photographs over the past 6 years.

Growing up in a small, picturesque town half way between Berlin and Amsterdam, Jens fell in love with photography at an early age. Ever since his uncle gave him a $5 Agfamatic for his tenth birthday, Lucking has not left the house without a camera.

Drawn by the terrible cuisine and wet weather, he moved to London in 1996. Traveling the globe for various assignments and personal projects, Jens finally traded his beloved British fish 'n chips for some California sushi and now lives with his lovely wife and dragon-obsessed son in Venice Beach.
