Dek Unu Magazine - Lukas Flippo

After making 200,000+ photos as a sports, editorial, and feature photographer, Lukas Flippo sees entire stories through his viewfinder. He frames extraneous or shadow details that others might crop to add texture and extraordinary depth to even the most routine photo assignments. These are confident, crafted images by a young master. Combined with his words, stream-of-consciousness captures of decisive moments themselves, Lukas’s humane visual and literary storytelling is deeply impactful and worth a second (and third) look. Another Mississippian, William Faulkner, is alleged to have said, “To understand the world, you must first understand a place like Mississippi.” Our thanks to Lukas Flippo for adding facts and feelings to what we understand.
