For locals · by inquiry
The studio. Where the weather stops mattering.
Sports portraits, senior sessions, families and headshots on a black backdrop with controlled light. Almost entirely local clients — which is exactly why it is worth knowing about.
Why this page is quiet
Ninety-five percent of my work happens on a beach.
Visitors do not fly to Maui for a studio portrait, and I am the first to say so — you can get a black backdrop anywhere, usually cheaper. So I have never advertised the studio on the front of the site.
But every studio session I have shot has been a local family: kids in gi, softball catchers in full gear, seniors in letterman jackets, whole teams. If you live here and you have been looking for someone on-island who shoots properly lit studio portraits, this is the page you were looking for.
What gets shot in there
Four things, done well.
- 01
Sports and athlete portraits
Jiu-jitsu, softball, soccer, football, wrestling, track. Hard side light, smoke, and the belt or the medals in frame.
- 02
Senior portraits
For seniors who would rather not be on a public beach, or who want their sport in the photograph.
- 03
Family and couples
Clean, controlled, and completely weather-proof — which on this island is not nothing.
- 04
Headshots
For local businesses that need everyone photographed consistently rather than one at a time.
Selected studio work
Black backdrop, controlled light.
