Luke Latty
Global travels that'll put you in vacay mode.

August 10, 2016

For this week’s edition of Frames, we hit up one of our own shooters for a little inspiration – and we’re stoked to get 20 tip-top images from the long-haired larrikin himself, Luke Latty.

Luke has been part of the Life Without Andy team for some time now, and while he can be found snapping in Sydney clubs regularly, it’s his worldly travels where he produces his most breathtaking shots. After all, he did travel to Athens and Santorini with Sahara Ray, Alana Pallister and our friends at Contiki, capturing all that European summer action. This week, he produces similar worldly wonder in his edition from Frames, with scenes from Asia through to Africa.

Did you think you needed a holiday before? Prepare to experience unprecedented levels of FOMO after looking at Luke’s gallery below. He shows us unbeatable stretches of ocean, beautiful wildlife and postcard-worthy sunsets in his images, successfully capturing the most magical moments of Mother Nature.

Plenty of the shots come from our nearby neighbour of Indonesia, where Luke has been working on the Wondernesia program for The Discovery Channel. Big things ahead! See the images below, book a little vacay and follow all of Luke’s adventures right here on Instagram:

Snapped this after a full day of driving through South Africa en route to Oudtshoorn, to see where my Dad was trained in the army.

These two fellas are Mandos the pig and Warki the dog. They are two of the strangest best friends you will see. Snapped on remote small island run by Kayak4Conservation in Raja Ampat, Indonesia.

It doesn’t get much better than that creamy golden afternoon light above the clouds.
