Luke Beard is a multidisciplinary designer, photographer, and creative technologist based in Atlanta, Georgia. Born in the United Kingdom and a dual US/UK citizen, he has lived in Atlanta since 2013, and his work follows one simple focus: design good products and take great photos. He is best known for founding Exposure, a photography hosting and publishing platform he has led since 2013, whose clients range from Rivian and National Geographic to the NFL, the World Wildlife Fund, and MIT.

Today Luke is Creative Director at the Atlanta restaurant group Electric Hospitality and fractional Head of Product at Opulist, the venue discovery app he designed and built end to end. His past work spans Fohr, Avelo's smart running shoe, and Any Distance, the social fitness app that won an Apple Design Award in 2023. He keeps experimenting with new ways to help people express themselves more meaningfully.
