Aloha! 🌺 Welcome, and thank you for your interest in my photography! I'm Paul Kiefer, a professional photographer specializing in portrait and people photography. 

Based on the island of Oahu, I provide my photography services locally and nationally - also servicing NYC and LA. I take pride in being one of the top photographers in Hawaii and my service areas. 

With over 16 years of experience as an international model in the fashion industry, I've developed a keen eye and passion for capturing captivating images that reflect the true essence of my subjects. This unique experience has given me a profound ability to connect with the individuals I photograph. 

My approach centers around making people feel genuinely comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. By establishing a relaxed environment, I create the perfect conditions for authentic expressions and emotions. The result is a collection of compelling photographs that evoke powerful connections.

Collaboration is at the heart of my process. I believe in building strong relationships with clients, understanding their vision, and working together to achieve outstanding results. Whether it's capturing the essence of a brand or conveying the unique personality of an individual, I am dedicated to exceeding expectations and delivering visually striking images that make a statement. 

As a professional portrait photographer, known for my attention to detail, I specialize in creating artistic portraits that beautifully capture the unique beauty and personality of individuals. Whether it's professional headshots, beauty portraits, or a family portrait session, my goal is to craft images that capture authentic moments and emotions. With meticulous attention to composition, posing, and a masterful use of lighting techniques, I skillfully freeze moments in time, allowing emotions and meaningful connections to shine through in every portrait. By treating my work as an art form, I strive for perfection in every picture. 

In the realm of fashion photography, drawing on my extensive experience as a model in the fashion industry, I possess the expertise to bring your visions to life. With a deep understanding of style, trends, and storytelling, I collaborate closely with models, actors, designers, and creative teams to produce captivating fashion editorials, lookbooks, and campaigns. Together, we craft images that showcase the artistry of clothing, the allure of beauty, and the power of self-expression.

Weddings, elopements, and couple photography hold a special place in my heart. I find joy in documenting the love and connection shared between two individuals, capturing those precious moments of laughter, tenderness, and stolen glances. From engagement shoots to full-day destination wedding coverage, I am dedicated to creating timeless images that narrate the unique story of each couple's journey.

My corporate photography services offer professional images for businesses, including business headshots and commercial photography. 

Additionally, I have expertise in lifestyle captures, maternity photography, boudoir, senior portraits, and capturing moments of surprise marriage proposals or anniversaries. I also provide comprehensive coverage for corporate events, celebrations, and important milestones. 

As a destination photographer, I have the flexibility to travel and capture your most memorable moments with a fresh and unique perspective. Whether it's an enchanting portrait, a fashion story, or a cherished life event, I am committed to exceeding your expectations and delivering photography that truly speaks to your soul.
