I’m Ashleigh Tarkington, but you might know me as Lunarai. I create films, photos, and music that aim to spark emotion and tell stories in ways that feel honest and alive. I believe in combining artistry with structure to bring ideas to life—whether it’s a breathtaking image, a moving narrative, or a melody that stays with you.

With degrees in Cinema Arts & Science and Photography from Columbia College Chicago, I’ve spent years sharpening my craft and learning how to connect technical expertise with creative vision. Every project I work on starts with listening and understanding, so I can craft something that truly reflects its purpose and speaks to its audience.

For me, it’s not just about making something beautiful—it’s about creating work that matters. I love collaborating with creatives, brands, and businesses to explore their ideas and make them real in surprising and resonating ways. Whether behind a camera, in the editing suite, or composing music, my goal is always the same: to create work that feels authentic and meaningful.
