Coffee with Luke ☕️ – A Chat with the Man Behind the Lens: Luke Ransley


Hey everyone, welcome back to another post in the Coffee with Luke series. Today, we’re doing something a little different—we’re turning the camera around and focusing on someone very close to this blog… me! That’s right, it’s time for a little heart-to-heart about something I’m deeply passionate about: photography.

So grab your favourite mug, settle in, and let’s have a chat.

Where It All Began 📸

My photography journey officially kicked off in 2012. I still remember the feeling of holding a camera for the first time and realising I had a tool that could freeze a moment in time. That was it. I was hooked.

It started small—snapping shots of family gatherings, landscapes around Hobart (where I’m originally from), and those little everyday moments that are so easy to forget. But the more I shot, the more I realised photography was more than just a hobby—it was a way of seeing the world, a way of telling stories.

The Heart Behind the Lens ❤️

For me, photography isn’t just about taking nice pictures—it’s about making memories. There’s something so powerful about capturing a laugh, a sunset, a quiet street, or even the chaos of a moment and being able to look back and feel it all over again.

My camera has become an extension of who I am. It's helped me connect with people, express myself, and most importantly, it's given me a way to slow down and see life, not just live it.

What I Love to Shoot 🌆🌿📷

I’ve developed a love for all kinds of photography—urban landscapes, nature, portraits, everyday life. Living in Brisbane now, I’m surrounded by amazing places to explore with my camera. From the bustling streets of the city to the peaceful moments in nature, there’s always something waiting to be captured.

Each photo tells a story. And when I look back at the pictures I’ve taken over the years, I see a timeline of my life. I see growth. I see joy. I see resilience. And that’s something I want to share with the world.

Let’s Connect! 🤝

If you love photography, or even just love seeing life through someone else’s eyes, I’d love to have you follow along. You can check out my work on Instagram at

Come say hi, leave a comment, and let’s share our love of capturing moments together.

Thanks for sitting down with me for this chat—it means a lot. Stay tuned for more awesome guests, stories, and of course, more coffee. ☕️

Until next time,
Luke
