Luke Kneale was born in Sydney (Australia) in 1978. His love for photography began at age 15, drawing inspiration from classical Australian artists such as David Moore and Max Dupain. He studied photography at school and began photographing the streets of Sydney in black and white, quickly developing an extensive portfolio.

He began to take photography more seriously in 2004 and launched saltwater photography with a view to specialising in large-format professional photography. His work is already being sold globally, with resellers jumping to distribute it.

Luke has travelled the Australian continent extensively, from the tropical climates of far North Queensland, to the snowy peaks of Tasmania, to the serenity implicit in the far reaches of Western Australia and the Australian outback. Also travelling abroad, he has photographed remarkable landscapes in countries all around the world and taken part in expeditions to islands of the pacific and southeast Asia. Luke was photographing Phi Phi Island and Khao Lak beach less than three weeks prior to the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami which devastated the southern beaches of Asia.

Luke’s photography can best be described as vibrant, modern glimpses of life.
