About
Imagine finding a down-to-earth, approachable, outgoing and friendly photographer who gets results. Now, go ahead and imagine that photographer working for you.
What is LukaPhoto? Who is LukaPhoto? It’s what Lucas Balzer calls himself when there’s a camera in his hand…
Want to be a part of the action? All you have to do is pick up a phone or send off an email, and you’re in the club. It really is that easy.
Lucas has not shot for big-name, rely-on-their-reputations magazines, or won piles of meaningless industry awards, which means that you don’t get an overinflated ego and jacked up prices. What you will get is a driven, task-oriented photographer with an eye for capturing what Henri Cartier-Bresson coined as the Decisive Moment. If you don’t want to take the time to wade through a huge article you probably don’t care about, here’s the crux of it:
“Photography is not like painting. There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment the photographer is creative. Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever.”
“It is gone forever.” Sort of heavy, right? When you hire Lucas to photograph for you, he works with constant awareness of that fact. Some people photograph for the sake of art, or to convey a message and, while Lucas shoots with an artistic eye and always tells a story, catching the moment is of primary importance. You can rest assured that you will be delivered the best of all possible products.
For those of you still here, take some free advice: Get on the ball and work with Lucas before he does shoot for prestigious magazines and win heaps of industry awards, because you never know what will happen with the whole overinflated ego and jacked up prices thing.
