Luke Duggleby
Born in 1977 in the north of England, Luke wanted to be a photographer since his early teenage years. After graduating with a BA (hons) degree in photography from the UK, he left for Asia where he has lived ever since. For more than five years, Luke has been documenting Asia for some of the most respected publications in the world including The Sunday Times Magazine, GEO, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Independent Review on Sunday.
In 2006 Luke won First Prize in the category of Mountain Environment from the Banff Centre of Mountain Culture and Environment, Canada. In 2009 Luke collaborated with Italian anthropologist Gionvanni Da Col in the publication Il Lato Invisibile del Paradiso: Pellegrinaggi ai confini del Tibet (Pilgrimages to the Borders of Tibet).
Luke first ventured to the region where these photographs were taken in 1999. Back then, most of the places in this remote area of northwest Yunnan province were off-limits to foreigners. But over the years he has returned to document the people and the cultures that have totally captivated him for over a decade.
Signed prints of a selection of Luke's photographs (shown left) from TIBET OUTSIDE TIBET are available at Serindia Gallery. Visit the gallery or contact: serindiagallery@gmail.com.
