When someone steps up to serve our veteran community- magic happens! I want to shine a spotlight on Juan P. Casiano from Lumetry Media, LLC. for his incredible contribution to Wounded Warrior Project's recent Employment Bootcamp (EBC) with Deloitte. Here's what makes Juan special: When I reached out (thanks to a referral from another outstanding local photographer who knew Juan as a veteran advocate), Juan didn't just say yes--he went above and beyond. He volunteered his time photographing FIFTEEN Warriors and supporting employers completely pro bono, understanding that professional headshots can be game-changers in the job search process. But Juan brought more than just technical skill. As you can see from this photo he took of me, he's not just a photographer--he's an expressions coach who helps people show their best, most confident selves. That's exactly what our Warriors need as they transition into meaningful civilian careers. The impact? Warriors walked away not just with professional headshots, but with renewed confidence and the tools they need to succeed in their job search. Juan embodies what veteran advocacy looks like in action. His company, Lumetry Media, proves that supporting our military community isn't just good business--it's the right thing to do. San Diego professionals: If you need headshots that capture not just how you look, but who you are, I can't recommend Juan and his team highly enough. BRAVO ZULU, Juan!

Great experience and highly recommended! Germaine and Juan are skilled and friendly professionals. They made getting quality headshots for professional use a speedy and stress-free exercise. They made proofs quickly available, and completed the retouching work quickly. The studio was spacious and provided rooms for changing wardrobes, if needed. In addition to individuals, businesses should strongly consider Lumetry because of the firm's professionalism, competitive rates, and system for confirming appointments, billing and providing receipts, and viewing/downloading photos. read more

It's time to be Thankful, and I'd like to give A Big Thanks to Lumetry! I'm not photogenic, I'm very awkward and 99.9% chances that my eyes will be closed. Germaine was/is very patient with me and made me get out of my comfort zone. Also very kind and funny through out the process. No matter how much I made it difficult for him, he was still able to take great photos. My experience with Lumetry reminds me of Nickelback when he sang...Look at this photograph. Every time I do, it makes me laugh. Good Times! read more

Germaine and Juan were not only incredibly professional but also super kind! Their clear directions and delightful personalities made everything feel easy and comfortable. Thanks for making headshots fun and reassuring. Highly recommend! read more

What a wonderful experience...Juan and his team did an amazing job and were fabulous to work with! Helped me find a hair & makeup person last minute. Guided us to some great locations for our special engagement photo shoot. Can't say enough great things about Lumetry Media! Recommend!! read more

A 5-star rating is not enough to express how happy I am with their service. I needed headshots for my marketing as a Realtor so I searched for studios online. I chanced upon Lumetry Media's page and I liked how they did peoples' headshots: crisp, neat and very professional looking. The photos are also perfect to be incorporated on filters and frames on social media. First time I went to their studio and I was impressed by how organized it is and the ambiance was perfect. Germaine did an exceptional job bringing out the best poses from me, I always tend to be awkward in front of the camera especially if it's not a selfie. He made sure I was comfortable throughout the shoot and he had a lot of ideas. His instructions were straightforward and friendly at the same time. In short, he knows his craft. Lumetry Media has been my go-to photography studio. I am always impressed everytime I go there and I highly recommend LUMETRY MEDIA. read more

Oh snap! Where do I start?! I needed some studio headshots and Lumetry Media was the ultimate choice! I'm such an awkward duck in front of the camera, but I felt at ease with their clear posing directions and fun personalities. Germaine and Juan just click with everyone! The pictures came out phenomenally & I couldn't have been happier! Lumetry Media, ISO appreciate you! :) read more

Germaine and Juan are the two sweethearts behind Lumetry Media. They are extremely personable and professional and made the daunting task of taking professional headshots fun and reassuring. Here are some of the best aspects of my experience with them Communication: 10/10 Juan and Germaine are always so quick to reply to any questions thoroughly and politely. They confirmed the details of my shoot super clearly, pricing is super transparent and they never try to pressure you into an upsell, and they kept me updated on the progress of my photos afterwards. During the shoot, they are also super easy to talk to and give great directions and cues. This is SO helpful for awkward people like me who lose all semblance of composure in front of the camera. They managed to get me out of my stiff, uncomfortable shell and just show my true persona to the lens. Pricing: 10/10 You get what you pay for and then some. Every dollar is worth it. Quality: 10/10 Their studio is super clean and comfortable. They kept their equipment super organized so no waiting on my end. The photos themselves are very professional- super crisp, very seamless touch ups (I look like a very good version of myself and not like some weird robot under too much soft light), and they even helped me choose the best colors from the wardrobe choices I brought (HINT: PLEASE bring multiple options, sometimes that shirt you SWEAR brings out your eyes just makes your teeth look yellow. Just saying). I highly recommend them and will definitely work with them again! Thanks Juan and Germaine, you guys are the best. read more

Juan did Such an amazing job at our wedding. He captured the most beautiful moments and I would highly recommend him if you're looking for someone to shoot at your wedding. read more

I have been working with Lumetry Media for a few years now. Originally I had a lifestyle photoshoot with JP and he made me feel extremely comfortable! The photos were stunning! I liked him so much that I asked if him and his partner Germaine would shoot a commercial video for my fitness company. Two words! Professional and organized! They arrived to the shoot with a story board and explained every single detail! I've never had any photographer do that. I had zero questions... let me say their communication is amazing. I find it quite hard working with other photographers due to that. Lumetry Media has been the company I reach out to every time I need photos for my company or myself. I have recommended them to numerous people! I highly highly suggest you work with them too. I have nothing but good words to say about them. They make shooting product shots fun... hahaha read more

Juan and Germaine are so excellent at what they do. We hired them to do headshots for our company and shoot an About Us video. They were communicative from the start, punctual, and extremely professional. Every one of our members praised the process and were impressed with the quality of their work. We received endless compliments all day and have continued to receive great feedback since getting the initial headshot photos. It's clear they're passionate about what they do--it reflects in their work. Thank you to Lumetry for a smooth, professional experience and going above and beyond in customer service. If you're looking around for professional photos, headshots, conference photography, or general videography work, please consider Lumetry. You won't regret it. read more

hello there yelperz. i hired lumetry media to do a very VERY important memorial shoot for my one and only dog son who crossed the rainbow bridge this past year. it was one of my most heartbreaking experiences in my, some may call "few" years of life thus far but Germaine made the memorial shoot all i could have ever dreamed it to be. Butters Anthony (now St. Butters) was my absolute best friend and Lumetry Media couldn't have done a better job and i guarantee you they'd be the BEST way to go for a the most PAWesome, most professional, and most personable experience. Thank you Germaine for everything!! So grateful for this company!! You would not regret hiring them!!! love and light, jazzypupxx read more

Just got my professional headshots done at Lumetry Media with Germaine in their big, brand new studio. After going with my husband to watch his headshot photo shoot, I knew that I would be coming here to get my photos done too. I got unlimited outfit changes and as much time as I needed. I wanted an indoor & outdoor background for some variety. My LinkedIn photo is a picture of me at a friend's wedding back in 2012...so it's about time for an update. Germaine did an excellent job explaining how I need to position myself in order to get the most welcoming and flattering photos. I'm a real estate investor and people will be using my photo to decide whether they want to work with me to buy or sell their home. I got my hair and make up done ahead of time to look professional for my photo session. I was super happy with how the photos turned out. The only hard part is picking which ones are my favorite now! If you are looking for a new job or creating a website for your own business, you need to get some nice professional headshots. People want to see you virtually before they meet you, so this is an easy way to make a lasting first impression. 2021 is a year where I am prioritizing professional and personal growth. Investing in photos for myself made me feel that I'm making progress towards goals for my business. I also love supporting local businesses as well. This was not common knowledge to me before coming here, so I thought I would share in case it benefits others. I wanted to emphasize the importance of picking a photographer that specializes in headshots if you want the best looking photo of yourself. We would not go to an eye doctor to get our teeth cleaned. Same goes for photography. I chose Lumetry Media because they specialize in bringing the best out of you through your headshot photos. read more

Germaine and his team are the most professional and excel in what they do. Not only they were so friendly and nice and helped everyone feel the most comfortable and best about themselves- the results are absolutely amazing. Easy to communicate, responsible and overall just highly recommended! read more

I've used Lumetry Media on multiple occasions & for different projects. We did an on site head shot/ apparel session for my barbershop/ barber brand. They took time to do variations of shots with multiple looks and poses. I received all the proofs and was extremely happy with just the shots. I got to pick a few in each category and they edited and detailed them even that much more! They are timely on returns of edits, patient with changes and detailed in the process! A media company I will continue to use for future projects not just headshots but video content, action photos, creative projects, and so much more! They are your go to for professional service and photography/ videography needs! read more

Juan and his team are simply fantastic. The direction they provide is enough to ensure that your photoshoot will have results, but loose enough to still express yourself and it's a really fine line to walk - they do it great! They are super kind, provide incredibly high value pictures and are just genuinely a treat to work with. If you're deciding where to go for shoot, don't ignore the other reviews or this one - they are just genuinely great and the best I've personally (or professionally!) worked with. Recommend 1000%. read more

Best photographer ever! We had Juan as a photographer at our wedding, he was awesome!!! Very interactive and had Many great pictures of guests and us during our wedding. I recommend them to anyone who needs a photographer! Will definitely hire them again for other events! read more

I love my headshots! I was skeptical about getting one at first but I've heard great things about Lumetry and wanted to give them a try. I am so happy with the results! The directions Juan, my photographer gave me was a game stranger. He made the laugh and felt very comfortable smiling for the camera. The pictures came out polished, very professional, and definitely worth the time and money. read more

I had my graduation photos taken by Germaine and they came out amazing! He was super helpful with poses and angles. He made sure to make me feel comfortable to get the best shots. Great experience 10/10 read more

They're good people at Lumetry, and produce high-quality work. read more

I initially hired Lumetry to do some personal photographs of my family. They did a site survey to ensure that we get the best possible outcome with the moments we wanted to capture. I was very impressed with such attention to detail that when my company needed headshots taken, I reached back out to them. They engaged with everyone at my financial services firm prior to coming out to get a better understanding of what the expectations were from every individual involved. Each person got their personalized time to get the photo they wanted. They take the time to tell you how to pose, where to pose, what to pose at the same time incorporating your preferences. They take the time to make sure everything is in order, no wrinkles, nothing out of place and if there was something, they would take the time to change it to make it look better. They made their recommendations on the edited photographs that were given to us. The whole process was very enjoyable. Everyone at our company was so impressed with the work that Lumetry provided that our CEO even asked them to attend a major national conference with us to provide their services to our clients. This speaks volumes to their capabilities and professionalism. We would highly recommend their services to anyone considering. read more

We needed photography/videography coverage for a volunteer event that we were running in Chula Vista. The Lumetry Media team arrived on time and were very professional throughout the event. We then had a follow up event in Los Angeles a few weeks later. The Lumetry Team agreed to travel and again provided wonderful service. They captured the event without getting in the way of the volunteers, and produced a video and photo recap within a couple of days. Highly recommend and will absolutely work with Lumetry again in the future. read more

My experience with Lumetry Media was amazing! I needed headshots and an outdoor photoshoot for my website and Juan and Germaine did an incredible job! Their creativity with using natural daylight lighting as well as evening artificial lighting and their directions for the poses made the shots come out even better than I imagined. Their customer service and passion for their work is really admirable. I highly recommend Juan and Germaine for your headshots and other photoshoots. Thank you so much! read more

The last review I did was years ago and I tend not to write reviews unless it warrants it. Writing bad reviews isn't warranted as word of mouth speaks the truth. With that being said, these guys are awesome! I used them for my corporate headshot for a speaking engagement. The things that made them awesome are the following: 1. Professional 2. Fun 3. Friendly 4. Obsessive 5. Perfectionists It was a blast to work with them. They made the whole experience enjoyable. Their suggestions, insights and relentlessness to get the perfect picture was worth the time. They made an average looking guy like myself look like a real true powerful professional. A definite recommendation! read more

The best photo studio I ever been. Very clean and they had everything for us to make the most enjoyable photoshoot (from music on the background, different background colors to lighting). I used this studio twice and I would definitely be back for my next photoshoot. Germaine is super helpful, always there in case we need anything. Beyond five stars. read more
