Crystal Lugo is a Las Vegas-based writer, photographer, and curator whose work blends her California roots with a love for portraiture on film. For the past seven years, she’s explored storytelling through analog formats, working with 35mm, 120, Polaroid, and most recently, 8mm film. 

 

Whether capturing a fleeting moment or the fleeting golden hour, Lugo’s work creates a tender, private world—one steeped in romance, intimacy, and a deep devotion to preserving the details of a life well felt along the West Coast.​
