Why work with me?
Queens Beach, Honolulu, HI
I’ll get right to the punchline:
I don’t see my purpose as a creator to be just making pretty pictures of videos.
I see myself as an artist, a creative, and a trusted confidant on your team who propels our collective vision forward. Forward not just into something beautiful, but into something that tells an authentic story. Your story.
Photography and videography are much more than a way to make pretty Instagram posts; they are a means of expression. They are a means of capturing a vision.
When you hire me, I am doing much more than clicking the shutter at the right time and right angle. I can only tell your authentic story once I’ve begun to understand its importance. As your creative, I will get to know you, your product, or your business, and the importance of the underlying story.
In my opinion, what sets me apart is my understanding of how important it is to create art from this foundation. I take in your situation and seek to understand exactly what you need me for. Who will be seeing these pictures or videos? What do you want to say to them through these visuals? Why now?
With a strong background in public relations and years of experience working with all kinds of different clients, from artists to non-profits to normal people like you and me, I know what steps I need to take to honor and properly broadcast your authentic story.
And, being on the outside, I am in a unique position to learn all about you, and to learn what needs to be said to the outside viewer. The steps between idea and tangible final product are all about collaboration. You tell me what you see your story to be - what you want to tell to the world. Then, I will take it in, process, offer feedback, and begin planning for how our collective visions will translate into photos, videos, and written word.
Creating the media that you see across this site is my passion and something that I am honored to do. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope to work with you soon :-)
