About
My name is Luke and I’m a Buffalo New York Based commercial and editorial portrait photographer.
I believe that photography is more than just a technical exercise, but a synthesis of vision, moment, and process that illustrates and amplifies something about the subject that is usually unseen.
I grew up in Canada but now live in Western NY with my wife and kids. We love it here and a lot of my personal work focuses on the creatives and entrepreneurs who are busting their asses to make this Rust Belt city thrive again - and I'm grateful that I get to be a part of telling this story.
I’m allergic to cats, penicillin, and boredom - being a photographer is a good cure for the last one because it lets me tell a different story every day.
Even though I went to a really great school and have had some amazing mentors, I still like to tell people I learned everything I know about photography during a training montage.
I love black licorice, baking bread, scary books, collecting fountain pens, making pizza, Miyazaki films, and taking aimless late night drives with my wife.
I create images for advertising agencies, magazines, and corporate clients across the US and Canada – Making quirky and dramatic portraits of subjects that range from corporate innovators to professional athletes to counterculture rebels is what I’m best at. You can see a list of my clients here.
I’m scared of dolls.
I also run a blog dedicated to analog creative tools like pens, paper, and ink — basiscaly I'm a stationary addict. it's called The Ace of Pens and you can check it out here.
I have the same birthday as Louis Daguerre.
Cheers!
