Hi, my name is Luke.
I’m a cinematographer and photographer based in New York City.
I work as a camera operator and 1st AC on documentary films for clients like Jigsaw, RadicalMedia, Story Syndicate and Lightbox. Projects I've contributed to have appeared on Netflix, HBO, Apple TV+, Showtime, Amazon Prime Video and Hulu. I'm also a frequent contributor as a DP on an ongoing news documentary series for Newsy, where I have filmed in over forty U.S. states and 8+ countries, often in challenging and hard-to-access environments.
My photographs have been published in The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, The Wall Street Journal, Marie Claire, TIME and more. While my work is documentary in nature, I also actively pursue a wide range of editorial assignments, portraiture, interior design, and commercial lifestyle photography projects.
Prior to New York, I lived and worked in Washington, D.C. where I created a long-term photo project examining the intersection of politics and identity. The body of work will be released in print form in 2023.
