Joseph Davis Castleberry is a Director, Photographer, DP, and Audio Engineer. He owns and operates LUMIN8 Productions, a production house in the Wicker Park area of Chicago. He has worked live sound and engineering for over 18 years, and started his shooting career over 20 years ago.

Following Snoop, Joseph shot imagery for Distrubed's social media, and finally moved onto shooting artists repped by Live Nation, including Five Finger Death Punch, Korn, Marilyn Manson, Wiz Khalifa, Slipknot, Cypress Hill and more. In the film world, Joseph is a creative mastermind, consulting and pushing development boundaries for his clients. He maintains creative freedom, and consistency by using razor like critical thinking, and by being aggressively observant. He spends his off set time testing new ideas, and creating useful techniques for his trades. Joseph has always been intrigued with human thought, lifestyle, condition, and emotional reaction, which carries over into his writing, musical scores, and treatments. His creative process draws from a multitude of personal experiences throughout his life, and his observation techniques really locked in those memories. This process helps him decide how to build audience engagement. His current creative compositions focus on Psychological Thrillers, with Action and/or Horror vibes.
