Taka
Lead Photographer
Debuting as a professional photographer in 2002, Taka began his career capturing breathtaking wedding photography and working with various travel magazines, including assignments for the Hawaii Tourism Authority. In 2008, he moved to New York, specializing in fashion photography for New York Fashion Week. In 2011, he returned to Hawaii, but in 2013, he pursued a lifelong dream — entering the world of Formula 1. He became one of only 70 accredited F1 photographers worldwide, capturing the speed and intensity of motorsport at the highest level. He expanded his portfolio to include PGA and LPGA golf tournaments. In 2023, he achieved another milestone by becoming the first Hawaii-based wedding photographer to shoot at the prestigious Masters, one of golf's most revered events. With a diverse career spanning weddings, fashion, motorsports, and golf, Taka continues to push the boundaries of photography, blending artistry with action and storytelling.
