Hi, I'm Tristan Lovely!
I specialize in visual storytelling, event photography, and creative marketing. My senior capstone reflects a culmination of four years of growth, blending everything I’ve learned into a collection —bringing together automotive photography, portraiture, and immersive event coverage into one cohesive project. Every moment at NAU helped shape my artistic voice, and I’ve channeled that growth into bold, intentional work that captures culture, connection, and authenticity.
Through my freelance company, Cryptic Media—which I founded shortly after high school with little more than drive and a creative vision—I’ve transformed from a passionate beginner into a confident visual storyteller and entrepreneur. My time at Northern Arizona University didn’t just help me become the photographer I once dreamed of being—it also shaped me into a business professional, capable of managing client relationships, creative direction, and brand development.
Just four years later, I’ve partnered with a wide range of companies, brands, and event organizers to deliver high-impact visuals that spark engagement and tell stories with meaning. And I wouldn’t be where I am today without the friends I’ve made along the way—those who came and went, and especially those who stayed; they’re more than friends, they’re truly my family.
