- As a business owner and photographer, it’s important to check in on your mental health in such a difficult year.
- After learning that he wanted to be in development, he ended up in Palo Alto working in the start-up space. Luke immigrated from England 8 years ago.
- Through failure, Luke discovered what he wanted to do. During that time, he also picked up a camera and enjoyed taking photos as a hobby.
- Put enough creative people in a room with the resources they need and something awesome will come out of it.
- One of his companies gave him a Canon Mk III as a sign-on gift. The desire to put photographs on the internet without social media started tugging at his heart, and 7 years later the company is thriving.
- Founding a company as a photographer, for photographers, is definitely helpful when trying to understand your audience.
- Because of the success of Exposure, that is now Luke’s full time job.
- Although the platform is used by many photographers around the world, Luke runs the company solo. He had a lot of support when he started the company. As a result, he has been able to keep the company going mostly on his own.
