About

Luke Moran-Morris grew up in Hackney, London. After gaining a BA in Graphic Design & Photography from Kingston University he moved to Brighton to hang out with bands and take moody photos on the seafront. This evolved into beginning a career in portrait & documentary photography alongside design for magazines.

After these early experiments, Luke realised that he wanted to be a designer with a broad scope and collaborative process, thus he decided to move into the world of film. He started directing and designing music videos for his friends bands as well as working his way into the art department by assisting experienced designers.
