My Story

My name is Luke Catania IV and I'm a Photography and Media graduate of Northern Virginia Community College. Photography wasn't my first choice when narrowing down my degree options, it was the third option in mind behind Culinary Arts. My first choice and childhood dream was anything that had to do with animals.

Growing up there was always one to two dogs in the family which in turn helped me develop my love for animals. In my junior and senior years, at Thomas Edison HS, I took Veterinary Science in the academy and was looking into the Veterinary Technology program at NVCC. As you can tell, that didn't work out as I had hoped. However part of me wants to possibly give it another try sometime in the future.

As of now, I have a few photography job ideas in my head. One has to do with animals, like household pets or even wildlife. Another is travel photography since I love traveling to and exploring new places. However, my biggest dream for this path is to become a Professional Sports Photographer. Specifically in the NHL, and if possible for the Washington Capitals, as I'm a HUGE fan and grew up watching them. I've also looked into snowsports since I love to ski; as well as surf or shorebreak photography due to my love of the ocean. If you're curious about shorebreak photography; I highly recommend you check out Clark Little on Instagram. Lastly, throughout my website, you will find quotes by famous photographers, film directors, and screenwriters that inspire my love and passion for this line of work.
