About
Luke is a documentary photographer and visual storyteller based in Kansas whose work plays on the interludes between the human condition and our relationships with the conditions which inform our realities; religion, politics, culture, environment.
Utilizing art with facts, Luke's goal is to create impactful and beneficial storytelling through exploration and education in a way that's visually engaging.
Luke has multiple works in the permanent collection of the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art as well as commissioned works hanging in the Staley School of Leadership Studies, and the Morris Family Multicultural Student Center at Kansas State University.
Our world is an interesting reality, so I photograph it.
