A PHOTOGRAPHER IN KAUAI TELLING stories IN PHOTOS

Creative sunset photo sessions  - Sunsets at the Beach

Through My Lens

 Being a photographer in a tropical paradise seems like it's a pretty good gig so there's no shortage of individuals who pick up a camera and claim themselves a professional. But who truly are the pros, the best photographers Kauai has? There's not that many who are classically trained.  There's me, Harneet, Sandy, Ted, and a few others whom I only know by reputation. For me, David,  I'm a long-standing photographer in Kauai with a TV and feature film background. You could say stories run through my veins. A story in a single picture thrills me the way I first picked up a film camera. This image (above) could easily be a wedding first look. It's not. As the sun set, we figured it might be fun to remember that first look moment a year prior.  As one of the leading photographers in Kauai for over 15 years, it would be my honor to craft photographic stories for you like this. 


    Sunsets at the Beach: A BLAST BEING a Photographer in KAUAI

    Great light, terrific framing— the equation for Kauai photographers, no?

    A Kauai portrait photographer must have an eye for light and know his or her way around a camera. But the pro must also know how to direct and orchestrate a scene or a setup, and work really well with camera shy folk. Believe it or not even professional actors sometimes find themselves "lost" in front of the camera. Sometimes it just doesn't feel right; it's not organic. Because I hail from that industry I know a thing or two about something TV and film pros call "business." Business is the art of doing stuff aside from dialogue or action directives. It's often subtle but it gives dimension to the character. Think Denzel Washington's character in "The Equalizer" — alway adjusting the placement of a napkin or a book. Now think of you on a photoshoot. Dangling arms is fine. Sort of. But can I get you to feel the beat of the music, as if you've got on headphones?  Can I get you to  tap your feet, sway your hips,  rock your fists in a circle?  Can I get you to hide behind your family and then claw your way back into the photo, "Hey I want to be in the photo, too! " Not all photographers in Kauai tick the way I do.  For me, being a portrait photographer in Kauai, it's about honest photography because honestly, in real life we're all wild and funny,  we do wacky things, so getting all stiff and serious for the family pose, well, we'll shoot some that way, and then we'll do the Charlie Chaplin. 

    SunRISE PHOTOSHOOTS IN KAUAI

    Yes you have to get up very early, when it's still dark so that you're already at your favorite sunrise spot, say an east side beach, ready for the magical moments.  Perfect sunrise photography always requires a second light source (not just the light of the rising sun) so it's super important that you choose a photographer Kauai sunrise proficient, someone who'll make sure you're also beautifully illuminated as the sun rises behind you.  As the appears, as long as it's not hidden by clouds, it will delight you with glowing backlights in your hair.  I'm a passionate Kauai portrait photographer who adores this time of the day.  I and my team are committed to providing you with the highest quality work.
