Born in the coastal city of Split, Croatia in 1980, Lukin started photographing in 2004 and has been obsessed with the medium ever since. He works on long-term, self-assigned projects, focusing on emotional and psychological studies of the human condition. His images often incorporate dark and mysterious undertones, creating an impressionistic metaphorical narrative from documentary photographs that merges the deeply personal and collective.

Lukin’s work has earned him recognition in various international photography competitions, including being a finalist of the Sony World Photography Awards 2018. He is the Exposure One Awards Contest Winner 2024, a finalist of the Siena International Photo Awards 2019, and was shortlisted for the World Press Photo 2019. He was also an invitee artist by European Cultural Center for the Venice Art Biennale in 2019 and 2021. Paul Lukin’s prints are part of several permanent public and private collections, and was named one of the Best Modern Photographers of February 2024 by All About Photo Magazine. His work has been exhibited in galleries internationally, and his photographs have appeared in major publications and media outlets worldwide.

Lukin lives and works in Bangkok, Thailand.
