Our work is always inspired by nature and the organic way we artistically connect to it and the people in it.

We focus on businesses,
brands, and product.

We are Enrique & Charlene, owners of Studio Luniste, a full service creative studio based in San Diego, CA. We started our business in 2018 with the intent to bring a different creative approach to small business branding.

We are now a team of 6 who come from all different backgrounds such as marketing, social media development, film and photography.

We love to capture moments, feelings, journeys and the history of individuals and businesses.  

It makes us happy to know that through our work, we help people and businesses thrive by providing the visuals they need to elevate their branding.

    Enrique

    OWNER + VIDEO CREATOR

    My work is about documenting and capturing through the lens —the unsung heroes, those making a difference — and that became my way of connecting with people and community and it gave me a greater purpose.

    BIGGEST PISCES ENERGY: He likes to understand the story's deepest meaning and showcase stories that thrive change.

    Charlene

    OWNER + CREATIVE DIRECTOR

    Creating a studio and cultivating a community has been such a dream. Art has been a focus in my life since I was young and our studio is more than just photo + video, it is art. I wear many hats— managing a talented team, working with amazing clients, even housing ourselves in a studio space in North Park… makes me so grateful.

    BIGGEST VIRGO ENERGY: She’s adaptable and awesome at keeping the mood positive even in stressful situations. Practical, organized, and sees all the details!

    Jules

    ART DIRECTOR

    I am passionate about helping people expand their business visual concept and executing exactly what they dreamed of by planning and directing photo and video shoots, styling, writing video scripts and overseeing all communication.

    BIGGEST LEO ENERGY: She’s a badass who follows through and keeps our team and projects in check. She’s loyal and proud of what we do.

  • Teal

    PHOTOGRAPHER

    I find purpose behind the camera, helping others feel empowered while telling their story, and bringing visions to life.

    BIGGEST PISCES ENERGY: She’s amazing at collaborating with clients, which always makes the experience fun. She’s intuitive and let’s her imagination run wild with fun concepts.

  • Ruba

    SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER
    + CONTENT CREATOR

    I see myself as a translator. My role is to take the heart of your business; its ideas, personality, and purpose and turn it into visual stories that feel authentic. I focus on making content that speak your language and help others connect with what makes your brand unique

    BIGGEST AQUARIUS ENERGY: She isn’t afraid to be unique and loves vibing off of energy. She genuinely loves to show others shine, either the team or clients.

  • Reeka

    OPERATIONS MANAGER

    I keep things running smoothly behind the scenes amidst the creative chaos. Outside of the studio, I'm usually hunting for the best pastries in San Diego or trying a new baking recipe.

    BIGGEST LEO ENERGY: She is confident in taking on any project and is down for anything (at least once!). She also is so generous with baking us goodies!
