Luke Gent
A versatile documentary cameraman with 7 years of professional experience, working with different cameras and techniques on various projects, most notably for BBC, Discovery and Red Bull.
Through my experiences, I have obtained great technical knowledge and creative skills when it comes to capturing beautiful imagery for
storytelling. 
Growing up in Kenya offered a unique opportunity to observe and learn about animal behaviour and conservation firsthand, while a geography degree provided a profound understanding of Earth's current challenges. 
This knowledge was further solidified during three years of filming in the Serengeti, where I gained mentorship from top camera ops and used industry-leading camera equipment such as the CN20, drones and Shotover
gimbal systems. 
More recently I have worked as a freelancer, buying my own equipment and working predominantly in conservation, adventure and sports. Protecting our planet, people and biodiversity is of utmost importance to me and I want to continue sharing this through my love of filmmaking.
