About

Luke Gram is a Canadian photographer whose work moves through politically and geographically charged environments in search of the quiet moments where human life persists against, or within, systems designed to shape it.

His North Korea series, produced during independent access to the DPRK, has received international recognition including first place awards at the 1839 Awards and ND Awards, and recognition at the Festival della Fotografia Etica. His work has been published by Gestalten and featured in international press across Europe and North America.

In 2025 he was named International Photographer of the Year by reFocus Awards and Editorial Photographer of the Year by ND Awards, and his North Korea work was shortlisted for the Royal Photographic Society's International Photography Exhibition 167.

He is currently developing new long-form projects in South Asia and West Africa. He is based in Western Canada.
