Knucklehead have announced the UK and Amsterdam signing of director and photographer Lauren Luxenberg.

London-based Luxenberg's work spans commercials, music videos, fashion films and personal projects, including Touching Ground, a multimedia project she created with skater RonnieWTF, which tells the story of Colombian city Medellín’s rebirth through the eyes of its skateboarding community.

Her clients include Prada, Adidas, LVMH, Vogue, Nike, Audemars Piguet, Fila, Net a Porter, Universal Music, Uniqlo and Audi, and her subjects include Central Cee, Erling Haaland, Pa Salieu, Stormzy, Loyle Carner, Oasis, Mark Ronson, David Alaba and George Russell. Her music video portfolio includes promos for Youngs Teflon and KeepVibesNear.

Luxenberg’s music videos have been awarded at Cannes World Film Festival, Plot Twist, Grito Montenegro, Thin Line and Faro Concurso de Cinema, and nominated at UKMVAs, Aesthetica and Hollyshorts, among others.

Last year saw the London exhibition of In Power, a deeply personal series of eight short films that Luxenberg sums up as “the fragility of power” - a constant negotiation between empowerment and precarity in women’s lives. Shot across two days, they span thorny subjects from fertility to childhood emotional neglect, and how that can manifest in adult behaviours. The immersive exhibition was heightened via an ambient soundtrack by Baby Reindeer composer Nathan Coen and London jazz legend Mackwood.

“I first saw Lauren’s work through Touching Ground and absolutely loved it," says Knucklehead’s MD Francis Mildmay-White. "There’s a real sensitivity and warmth to the way she shoots people, and her work feels fresh, energetic and exciting. She has an instinctive way of finding composition, light and movement that feels completely her own. I’m genuinely very happy she is becoming part of Knucklehead, and we are really excited to see where we can take things together.”

Lauren Luxenberg adds: “When I met the Knucklehead team I immediately felt at home and part of the family, which is a rare feeling after eight years as an independent director. I’m incredibly excited to amplify my personal projects and to see where this journey takes us.”
