About
Visual & Creative Director
Luz by LJ is the work of LJ — a Santa Fe-based visual artist and photographer born and raised in New Mexico. Rooted in low-light portraiture, cinematic framing, and the raw energy of the Southwest, LJ finds the extraordinary in ordinary moments — alleyways lit by a single bulb, neon signs bleeding color into the dark, faces illuminated by the world around them.
Beyond the still frame, LJ brings the same eye to music video production, short-form content, and curated live performance coverage — translating energy into image across every format. Based in Santa Fe and available throughout New Mexico and the surrounding Southwest.
Cinematic Content Creation
What I Do
Individual and group sessions. Cinematic, editorial, or lifestyle — built around who you actually are, not who the studio thinks you should be.
Brand photography, product campaigns, artist press shots. Visual storytelling that makes people stop scrolling.
Live music, shows, gatherings. The moment that won't come back — captured before it disappears.
Cinematic short-form content — Reels, TikToks, and social visuals built to stop the scroll.
