the100guy
photo & video in northern ireland
Hi I'm Luke. I live in Bangor, Northern Ireland with my wife and two kids. Leaving school after MY GCSEs, I studied Media Production at college for my A-Levels then went on to Belfast Metropolitan College to study for a HND in Media: Moving Image. After this, I studied for 2 years with The Open University and now hold a BA Open Degree. . . which I have never used or needed.
I worked on small independent films in Northern Ireland for several years before moving up to higher level productions as a trainee camera grip. I worked on the feature film 'Killing Bono', BBC drama 'Christopher And His Kind' and several episodes of HBOs 'Game Of Thrones.'
I hated it.
Wanting to be more creative, and not content to just haul heavy equipment around all day, I decided to go it alone and create One Noise Media.
I hold no delusions of grandeur. If you meet me you will probably find me in jeans, converse and a superhero t-shirt, probably with food stains on it. Having had less than enjoyable experiences in the professional film industry in Northern Ireland as well as with local media persons, I aim to be different from everyone I have ever met in the industry. Taking inspiration from one of my childhood heroes, Spiderman, I aim to be 'your friendly neighbourhood video guy', providing honest and friendly work free from pretentiousness. I do not see you as a "client", I see you as a person.
As well as wedding videography, I enjoy street photography, writing and recording my own music, American sports (namely Ultimate Frisbee), and all things sci-fi and comic books. I am utterly obsessed with Amsterdam!
I travel to different cities under the guise of 'the100guy' and shoot street photography videos for fun. Why don't you go check it out?
I also shoot the odd music video which I love.
