Editing Luke in 2018
Records broken, personal milestones achieved, and some of the most ambitious photography and video projects produced by Editing Luke to date - 2018 was a formative year in the growth of this brand / company. I won't bore you with every single project, edit, brand deal, or shoot - instead, here's a sampling of some of my year's most memorable online moments:
January 2018 - As the Editing Luke Instagram following doubled in size through 2018 there was a sharp increase in collaborative / influencer opportunities presented.

January 26, 2018 - I posted a new photo set on Medicine Hat's historic train station. This was January's most viewed new post on the Editing Luke website.
February 2018 - Expanding on a concept that began the following year, I released over 100 new images of Medicine Hat, Alberta over the course of 2018 on the Editing Luke facebook page.
