About

Luke Gram is a Canadian photographer whose work moves through politically and geographically charged environments, looking at how people live under and respond to the systems that shape them.

His North Korea series, The Architecture of Control, was produced across Pyongyang, Kaesong, and the rural corridor toward Nampo, where that system was at its most total. The work earned him International Photographer of the Year at the 2025 reFocus Awards and Editorial Photographer of the Year at the ND Awards, and was shortlisted for the Royal Photographic Society's International Photography Exhibition 167.

His photography has been published by Gestalten and featured in international press across Europe and North America.

He is currently developing a long-form documentary project on the shipbreaking yards of South Asia.
