Why Film?

Film has a way of holding onto moments with quiet elegance. I photograph exclusively on 35mm and 120 film—each image is captured just as it happened. There’s a softness to it, a texture and depth that brings out something honest and timeless. Based in Hawaii, I specialize in fashion, lifestyle, and intimate portraiture, with a focus on natural light and real emotion. Shooting with film allows me to slow down and be present, creating space for genuine connection and effortless beauty. It’s not about chasing perfection—it’s about preserving the feeling. In a world where everything moves fast and layered with filters, film lets your story breathe. If you want your photos to feel like art—intentional, soulful, and one of a kind—film is the difference you’ve been looking for.

35mm

35mm is spontaneous and full of energy—perfect for capturing real-life moments as they unfold. It’s ideal for movement, emotion, and natural light, giving images a raw, documentary-style feel with beautiful grain and warmth. It’s quick, authentic, and full of soul.

120 medium format

120 film offers a slower, more intentional approach. With richer detail, softer tones, and a shallow depth of field, it brings a dreamy, almost cinematic quality to each frame. It’s perfect for portraits and quiet, intimate moments that deserve extra care.

"Film doesn’t correct—it reveals. Film doesn’t rush—it waits. In a world of filters and fixes, I choose the real—every highlight, every shadow, every grainy inch. That’s why film feels like luxury: it’s intentional, tactile, and timeless."
