Founder of MNORA Studios

My name is Reynaldo Robles Jr., and I’m the eye behind the lens at MNORA Studios.

Photography has been part of my story for over a decade — not just as an art form, but as a tool to serve, document, and create with intention. Before launching MNORA Studios, I spent over 10 years in eCommerce, where I was responsible for capturing clean, compelling product photography that helped customers connect with what they saw. That’s where I learned the importance of lighting, precision, and presentation — skills I now apply in every portrait and lifestyle session.

In 2019, I shifted more publicly into content creation through my YouTube channel, Robles Junior, where I built a community of over 60,000 subscribers by producing tech reviews, product showcases, and tutorials. That experience sharpened my ability to communicate visually, think creatively, and produce content that resonates with people across the world.

Outside of business, I proudly serve at my local church. Volunteering with the tech and photography team, I help bring events, services, and messages to life through media. I also support the church radio program, where I use my technical and visual skills to help build something meaningful for the community.

🟤 What Does MNORA Mean?

The name MNORA is rooted in purpose:

  • “MN” stands for Minnesota, where this story continues to grow and where I was born and raised.

  • “ORA” draws from Latin and Spanish roots, meaning light, hour, or presence — a perfect symbol for what photography truly is: capturing light in a moment of time.

MNORA Studios is more than a brand — it's a visual commitment to purpose, faith, and storytelling. It’s where eCommerce discipline, creative storytelling, and service come together to create timeless, meaningful imagery.

If you're looking for authentic, intentional photography — whether for a personal milestone, a product, or a community event — I’d be honored to work with you.
