The small, college town of Williamstown, MA is where Luke was born and raised. Parents Sarah and Bill Madden continue to live there. Both parents have a long history of teaching. Luke's brother, Patrick, studies Drama and English at Brown University. Luke began his creative art career at an early age with drawing and other various forms of media, though upon attending College of the Atlantic, quickly realized his passion was in photography. During the four years in school, photography evolved into documentary studies and finally videography. He attended the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies to further pursue his interest in documentary photography. All video work is completed using DSLR equipment and shooting techniques. Luke has received training in narrative creation, screenwriting, shooting techniques, and post-production methods while attending four-year college courses. He remains equally passionate about photography as he does about video.
