Thom Lukas

New York-born Thom Lukas discovered his passion for music early, sneaking into live shows and even infiltrating the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 to witness The Rolling Stones’ debut appearance on the iconic program.

His journey began in 1968, at the legendary Fillmore East, photographing Janis Joplin with Big Brother and the Holding Company. In the following weeks, he shot The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, and The Who, establishing himself as a true rock photographer.

After college, Thom returned to his craft, chronicling the punk and new wave explosion of the 1970s and ’80s, photographing legends like the Sex Pistols, Elvis Costello, REM, and The Police.
