Ivanesa Luna is a multidisciplinary artist and photographer whose work explores transformation, self-expression, and the power of storytelling. A graduate of Pratt Institute with a BFA, she brings a deeply personal and intuitive approach to her practice, merging technical skill with raw emotional truth.
Her creative journey began in photography—capturing moments that revealed presence, emotion, and spirit. She has documented everything from life in the Dominican Republic to the vibrant energy of NYC Pride, always using her lens to tell stories that resist conformity and invite reflection.
Beyond photography, Ivanesa’s voice extends into artisan ropework, symbolic wall pieces, and collage art that explores the sacred, the feminine, and the unseen layers of self. Each piece is a meditation rooted in holistic studies, intuitive healing, and a growing body of leadership work centered on empathy, clarity, and inner power.
In addition to her art practice, Ivanesa coaches other artists, helping them move through creative blocks and reconnect with their voice. Through her work, she creates space for presence, process, and transformation.
I Remember Through Places
I don’t just travel—I feel places. I listen to their rhythms, study their textures, and carry their stories in my body. My camera becomes a way to anchor that experience—one foot in this world, one in the dream space of memory.
This section holds what I’ve gathered: moments of softness, contrast, ritual, and reverence. From the sun-stained walls of the Caribbean to quiet corners of European cities, I move slowly, sensing what others overlook. I create images that remember not just what something looked like, but how it felt to be there.
Colorist & Mood Maker
I shape feelings through frame, color, and rhythm. As a retoucher and video editor, I don’t just clean up footage—I build atmosphere, clarify vision, and hold emotional truth. Whether breathing life into archival clips or crafting color stories that mirror a subject’s inner world, my approach is technical and intuitive.
Each cut, shade, and still is intentional. I work with sensitivity to tone, memory, and meaning, creating work that resonates beyond the screen. From analog textures to cinematic color grading, I bring stories to life, one frame at a time.
I Create Worlds
In this realm, reality stretches. I create visual worlds rooted in emotion, spirit, and the subconscious—blending photography, collage, and symbolic forms to tell stories that live outside of time. Influenced by dreams, memory, and mysticism, each piece invites the viewer into an alternate landscape: layered, sacred, and intentionally unfinished.
This is where I process what can’t be said directly. Where softness meets disruption, and imagination becomes its own kind of truth. Welcome to the worlds I create—not to escape, but to remember.

Where Presence Meets Portraiture
I photograph what lives beneath the surface—whether it's a product, a moment, or a person. My work is rooted in presence. Whether I'm documenting a family, styling an editorial shoot, or capturing the energy of a live event, I approach each frame with care, clarity, and intuitive timing.
I specialize in product photography, event coverage, family portraits, fashion, editorial, and beauty. Each shoot is a collaboration, a ritual, a way to hold emotion and identity with integrity. I don’t just take pictures—I create space for people and things to be seen in their fullest light.

Stories in Motion
My video work lives at the intersection of memory, feeling, and visual rhythm. Whether editing archival footage, capturing analog textures, or crafting a mood through color and pacing, I approach film as a sensory language that speaks through atmosphere and intuition.
Each project is a layered offering: part story, spell, and documentary of the unseen. I work across experimental, narrative, and documentary formats and often edit on Super 8, blending analog nostalgia with contemporary themes.
