The photographer I chose is
James Hennessy. He gained media interest in the seventh grade where he worked on videos first and later started photography when he was around 18. His first gig was for a wedding and he worked on a video, he worked with one camera and one lens. From that experience, he realized there’s potential for photography as well. That was when he realized he can do what he loves and make a living off of it.
His work is displayed on two Instagram accounts: @hanaleifamilyphoto, and his main account @bulimicbarbarian. On his business account, he shoots portrait photos. For example wedding to pregnancy and children photos. By looking at his photos I notice that his editing skills are amazing and the thought is brought out. Most of his photos are located in Hanalei, but occasionally we see photos in other locations.
On his second page, we see more stylistic beach-based photos and some mini video projects. This account displays his personal life and by this, we see that he travels and does some photoshoots. One interesting place he’s been too was Tokyo, Japan with his surfer friend Bryce Baker. All work posted on his personal and business account is shot and edited by him. With a wide range of skills, he presents very well to others who want to get their photos taken and those who might need a video promo.
