EMMY AWARD-WINNING CINEMATOGRAPHER
Filmmaker · Photographer · Drone Pilot
Automotive · Adventure · Documentary · Commercial · Music · Weddings
I am an Emmy Award-winning cinematographer, filmmaker and photographer, creating visually compelling content for television, documentaries, brands and commercial productions.
I have worked on productions for Apple TV+ and BBC Countryfile, bringing experience in cinematography, drone operation and moving-camera filming to projects across the UK and internationally.
From automotive and motorcycle filmmaking to adventure documentaries and branded content, I combine technical expertise, professional camera equipment and a passion for storytelling to create high-quality films that capture attention and bring stories to life.
Alongside traditional cinematography, I specialise in dynamic filming using a Onewheel, which allows me to capture smooth and creative tracking shots. Combined with my experience in aerial filming and car-to-car cinematography, this gives me a distinctive and versatile approach to capturing action and movement.
My work has earned recognition through multiple film festival awards and photographic competition wins, reflecting my passion for visual storytelling across both moving and still imagery.
With my own professional editing suite, I offer a complete production service, from filming and aerial cinematography through to post-production and final delivery.
I am a CAA-certified commercial drone pilot, fully licensed and insured, with £10 million public liability insurance. I can also coordinate actors and voice-over artists to suit the requirements of your production.
Have a project in mind? I'd love to hear about it.
LONG WAY HOME
Ewan McGregor & Charley Boorman | Apple TV+
I worked on this TV series as a Camera Operator and Drone Pilot.
Long Way Home” follows Ewan and Charley as they ride refurbished vintage motorbikes from Ewan’s home in Scotland to Charley’s in England — but rather than take the shortest route, they go the long way!
They head across the North Sea to Scandinavia, all the way up to the Arctic Circle and then down to the Baltics and through continental Europe, before eventually hopping back over the English Channel two months later. It’s an adventure that will take them to more than fifteen countries, through spectacular scenery and along some of the greatest driving roads in the world.

TESTIMONIALS
I highly recommend Luke as not only as an easy to get on with nice person but he has a very strong worthy work ethic…multitalented to boot! Filming with a variety of cameras, drone work, Onewheel, editing, versioning, Luke can do it all. I have worked with Luke for several years now. I am very happy to offer references. Luke was a very valuable part of the team for the Apple TV+ production 'Long Way Home' and he was always an enthusiastic part of the team.
- Russ Malkin, British TV producer and director
A tenacious young videographer with a unique creative flair raring to go. Luke arrived at our head office and got straight on with the task at hand - capturing a road test and vehicle health check of a special former Brunei Royal Family Mercedes SL. Luke's approach to filming was efficient, meticulous and energetic, allowing us to get the filming completed without impacting the day to day activity of our craftsmen. The content was turned around in a matter of days, supplied in formats appropriate for different platforms. We are delighted with the work Luke has carried out and look forward to a long and fruitful working relationship.
- The SL Shop, Mercedes-Benz Motor Cars
Luke's photographs, in one word, amazing. From my point of view, they are exactly what we had hoped for. I was extremely impressed with Luke's professionalism, the way he took control of each location, and then interpreted our brief and added his own touches to produce such great photography. I also hope that this is the start of a working relationship between Brooklands Museum and yourself, as we would not hesitate to work with Luke again.
- Brooklands Museum
"Luke and Tania created a stunning, high-quality ‘behind the scenes’ highlight film for a celebrity fashion shoot with Surrey Frills. Together, they perfectly captured the essence of the day, working diligently and patiently during a very busy day. Luke is an extremely professional and highly skilled videographer with a relaxed and positive attitude. The team at Surrey Frills all felt at total ease being in front of the camera, a crucial aspect of effective corporate video production. Both Luke and Tania's input into the creative direction of the film, making meaningful suggestions and building a narrative that excites and engages the viewer. We were really impressed with the turnaround of the edit and are delighted with the results. We will be using Luke Whatley-Bigg again and would wholeheartedly recommend them!"
