Luke is interested in using a photograph to communicate the feeling, the time, and the atmosphere of a location to the viewer. He specifically tries to capture textures and patterns in his photographs. These two elements are commonly seen in rock and water, so these subjects are often the focus of his work. He was born in northern Arizona and moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA at the age of 9. He began taking film-based photography classes at the age of 12 and started shooting landscape photographs in high school. As he attended more geology and photography classes in university, he continued to develop an interest in photographing geology-related subject matter. Luke now teaches in the Boston area and spends his free time traveling and backpacking in the western United States and Latin America.
