Luke is joining us in Glasgow as he finishes his English degree at Glasgow University. Whilst here, he has been kind enough to share his very impressive folio.

His work has been featured in Vice Magazine, The Skinny and The Big Issue. In 2008, he was featured alongside some of the biggest names in contemporary photography, including Ryan McGinley, Jerry Hsu and Patrick O’Dell when he was part of  Tim Barber’s Various Photographs-New York Photo Festival.

What makes this all the more impressive, is that he’s never studied photography and he’s only 21.  A very bright and intresting future lies ahead, for this talented photographer.

I’ve known Darran for about 5 years now and I’ve always enjoyed his work, company, inspiration & his ability to realise goals and ambitions. What pleases me most about his work are the dream like qualities they tend to capture. A small snippet in time of hazy colour, charm, character and life.  Recently his work has developed into a very natural style, rarely using flash-instead, using the sun as much as possible.
“I aim to capture movement, energy and a part of the beauty and harmony of the world we live in”, he says.

He graduated 4 years ago from the MET college in Glasgow then spend a further 2 years throughout Scotland and London assisting and thus learning more. He now shoots professionally and has been doing so for the past two years. His clients include Edinburgh City Council, Scotland on Sunday, I On Magazine, Borne Magazine, The Red Cross and Amnesty International-fantastic acheivments in such a short period of time. You can view his folio here.

Jonny Burke seems to have the skill to be able to capture a moment in time and then portray it through his camera to the rest of the world, as one of fun. Going through his Flickr, I couldn’t help but interpret the images as unpretentious, welcoming, natural and friendly photos. Photos taken in clubs, weren’t portraying madness, hysteria and loudness. To me, it was more intimate moments of pleasure and self contained entertainment. This photo sums it up for me. It deserves a mention, taken during Thunder Disco Club (apologies on size, I couldn’t get a larger image).

To me, Alex Martin‘s photographs tend to capture a certain simple, honest and ambient moment in time. There’s something organic and at ease, about them.
