Kojo Couture Photoshoot feat. Brittney Baker
International photographer/videographer based in Maui, Hawaii and Tokyo, Japan.
Started out shooting photo & video for destination weddings in Maui for over 15 years. In May of 2006 I attended a workshop held by photographer
Rolando Gomez who inspired me to venture into the world of photographing models. Since then I've been slowly developing my portfolio over the years, thanks to the help of some very patient models and talented makeup artists and hairstylists.
As a photographer, I feel it's important to always learn and try out new ideas and techniques. I also believe we need to share what we learn with others without worrying about trying to keep "secret techniques" to ourselves. For that reason, I keep a
blog about every photoshoot that we do. For any photographers that have questions about how something was done, please feel free to ask.
Models that are interested in collaborating can contact me on MM or via Twitter/Facebook, etc. TFCD/TFP sessions are very limited, but we try to keep our session rates reasonable, especially for models that are just starting out with their portfolios. We also sometimes run special promotions during the holidays so if you are vacationing in Maui and looking to do a shoot, don't hesitate to ask.
I really enjoy working with teams of models/makeup artists/hairstylists that have wacky ideas that they want to try out. It makes the shoot so much more fun when everyone collaborates to create something cool. I have been very fortunate to have collaborated with amazing teams in Hawaii and in Japan. A big Mahalo to all of you that I have worked with, as I could not have done it without your help (and patience).
