Aloha! I am a freelance photographer and cinematographer born and raised on the island of Oahu, HI.
I love what I do and started this passion after graduating college. I just knew that there was something more to this life. I constantly chased this dream, capturing images around the island and soon found that it also helped with personal growth and happiness within myself.
My first love was landscape photography. As I grew up, and had experience working in the real world, I noticed a lot of people unhappy. So it motivated me to remind them of how blessed we are to live in a beautiful place like this. Which in turn, reminded me of this beautiful life I live too.
This led to more opportunities I never expected to have. I eventually turned this hobby into a career in 2021 with the help and support of my friends, family and community here.
I had the opportunity to direct and co-produce our first short film called “Voyager” in 2022 with my good friend Chase Viken with Atmosphere Films, which has sparked my love for filmmaking.
I am looking to continue to inspire myself and others to keep chasing their dreams. And to keep creating and motivating others along the way.
