About Luca Ripamonti

I make imagesthat move...even when they’re still.

Luca Ripamonti

I’m Luca Ripamonti, known online as LukeRipa: a filmmaker, photographer and content creator based in Milan, working wherever the right story takes me.

Cinema came first. The pull of a dark room, a wide screen and a story unfolding one image at a time became an interest in how films are actually built: writing, directing, framing, rhythm and the invisible precision of editing.

That curiosity has grown into a multidisciplinary practice. My experience spans narrative shorts, documentary-style commercial work, portraits, products, architecture, podcasts and social series. I like moving between disciplines because each one sharpens the others: photography makes my frames more deliberate; editing makes my shoots more efficient; writing keeps every choice anchored to a point of view.

The format can change. The standard doesn’t: clarity, atmosphere and an honest human pulse.

I work through VirtualScreen Productions and frequently collaborate with Giovanni Mirabella on film and digital projects. Together, we also built Wikos as a bilingual creative space across WIKOS Channel and Il Wikos Podcast—work that lives naturally between Italian and English.

How I work

01

Listen first

A strong brief starts with the people, audience and real objective behind it.

02

Find the frame

I look for the single visual and narrative idea that makes the whole piece feel inevitable.

03

Stay involved

From development to delivery, I care about the small decisions that protect the final result.

04

Milan is home, but the work is international. I’m available for productions worldwide.
