Welcome! I’m Luis — a photographer, candle maker, and creative entrepreneur driven by a love for storytelling, craftsmanship, and all things beautifully unconventional.

Through my photography, I capture genuine moments, emotions, and personalities. My style leans toward dramatic, artistic imagery, with a particular appreciation for black-and-white photography and the emotion it brings forward. Whether it’s an event, portrait session, concert, or personal project, my goal is to create photographs that feel authentic, powerful, and memorable.

Through my candle business, Calavera Dusk, I create handcrafted candles and wax melts inspired by the darker side of art, culture, and home décor. Each piece is designed to bring personality into your space — from gothic and spooky aesthetics to unique scents.

But this is only part of the story.

There’s another idea taking shape in the shadows — Black Lantern.

What started as a collection of creative ideas has grown into something bigger, combining atmosphere, community, craftsmanship, and a love for creating experiences. It’s still taking form, but soon the lantern will be lit.

Photography. Candles. Coffee. Creativity.

Different crafts, one vision: to create things that make people feel something.

Thank you for visiting, supporting my work, and being part of the journey. Whether you’re here for a photograph, a handcrafted candle, or simply curious about what’s coming next, there’s always something new being created.

Create uniquely. Capture chaotically. Burn mysteriously and keep an eye on the lantern.
