ABOUT LUKE…

I am a multitalented creative professional from Maryland with over 10 years of experience in photography, videography, and graphic design. My passion for capturing moments and telling stories through visual media has driven me to excel in these fields. In photography, I have honed my skills in event, editorial, landscape, and portrait photography, delivering captivating images that resonate with viewers.

In videography, I specialize in filming events, conferences, and direct-to-camera addresses, either on location or in studio, live or prerecorded. My expertise in videography allows me to create engaging and dynamic content that effectively communicates messages and narratives. I am also adept at graphic design, with a focus on branding, layout design, and advertising. My design skills enable me to create visually appealing and impactful designs that help businesses and organizations communicate their message effectively.
