Luke J. Collins

DOP based in the Midlands. Winner of the RTS Midlands award "Off Screen Breakthrough" in 2021. Currently series DP on "The Read" for BBC Four. The Read is a series featuring dramatic readings of celebrated novels, and has featured performances from Christopher Eccleston, Alex Kingston, Sacha Dhawan, Steve Pemberton, Anne-Marie Diffy & others.

In 2023 I had the pleasure to DP a TV special "Shakespeare Sonnets: A Modern Love Story" starring Rose Ayling-Ellis. It features 20 Shakespeare Sonnets intwined together to create a unique and fresh love story.

I've shot several shorts over the years, including BFI Network funded "A Different Place" which played at festivals internationally, including BFI Flare. I've also DP'd several shorts for BBC Arts and Sky Arts over the last few years, included Swiped and Finger Prick.

Although the vast majority of my work comes in narrative, I also have a passion for documentary. In 2022 I was DP on a 30 min documentary for the Cyrille Regis Foundation, telling the story of various young people around the Birmingham area and how the Commonwealth Games affected them. I have also shot documentary packages for Morning Live, airing on BBC One.

My commercial work primarily takes places in the Charity sector, having made films for Womens Aid, Mens Aid, Stamma and Babyloss Awareness Week. I also have a passion for sport, and have shot for brands such as Grenade, Iffley Road, and Boxraw.

I pride myself on my ability to collaborate, work well with others, and get the best out of crews. If you need a DP that truly cares, please get in touch.
