Luke Miller

Los Angeles–based cinematographer Luke Miller was director of photography on the final seasons of Netflix’s Grace and Frankie, starring Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Sam Waterston, and Martin Sheen. Luke began his journey with the series on its very first episode as the gaffer and, with the mentorship of original cinematographer Gale Tattersall, rose to DP beginning in Season 5 and continuing through Seasons 6 and 7.

On Grace and Frankie, Luke helped craft a visual style that balanced naturalistic lighting with elegant portraiture, maintaining a cinematic look while working within the pace of a television schedule. His approach emphasizes close collaboration with directors and a focus on performance, creating imagery that supports both story and character.

Before stepping behind the camera as a cinematographer, Luke spent years working as a gaffer and rigging gaffer on productions ranging from independent films to major studio features and prestige television, including Apple TV+’s The Morning Show. Building on that technical foundation, Luke has since served as cinematographer on projects including the Los Angeles portion of Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building, the second season of the sitcom Mind Your Business for Bounce TV, and a yet-to-be-announced independent feature directed by Michael Charles Roman.

Luke works closely with directors to translate their vision into images and has collaborated with filmmakers including Alex Hardcastle, Marta Kauffman, Rebecca Asher, Ken Whittingham, John Hoffman, Molly McGlynn, and Michael Charles Roman.

Luke approaches filmmaking holistically, believing every visual choice, from lenses and aspect ratio to production design and color, should work together in service of the story. Originally from a small farm town west of Chicago, he now lives in Los Angeles, where he spends his time off set cycling in the mountains, often with his kids strapped to the bike, or watching films in the state-of-the-art theater he designed and built.
