About Catalina Captures
Hi there, I’m David Luong. I recently moved to Catalina Island and now call the beautiful city of Avalon home.
eyes that demand cinematic visuals
My career spans over two decades creating high-quality imagery, from working on Hollywood films in Los Angeles to more than 15 years in Irvine, California, as a cinematic artist at the legendary video game studio, Blizzard Entertainment.
During that time, I contributed animated work to AAA titles including World of Warcraft, Overwatch, StarCraft II, Diablo III, Heroes of the Storm, and Hearthstone. My husband, our pets, and I are even featured inside World of Warcraft.
I now work remotely as the Art Director at indie startup Couch Heroes. You can view examples of my work at www.davidluong.net.
I’ve always been a photographer.
Travel taught me how beauty shifts across cultures
How light, color, and emotion tell different stories around the world:
– From the ancient agoras of Athens to the hygge glow of Copenhagen.
– From the royal energy of London to the dark shores of Tenerife.
– From the layered history of Berlin to the vibrant street life of Hanoi.
…and everywhere in between.
Now, I’m bringing those experiences home—using them to capture the moments that matter most to the people on this island. From choosing the perfect location and time of day to refining the color palette that completes the story, every detail is intentional.
Whether it’s a quiet moment with loved ones, a surprise proposal, your pets, or a corporate event, we deliver high-quality photography, videography, and digital editing—crafted with care from start to finish.
Let’s create something unforgettable.
