Makai Photography
We make sure your adventure isn't forgotten.
Our story
Our brand is made up by our 3 co-owners. They created the brand after years of friendship, agreeing they thought the thought of the company would be phenomanal. It started quite small, but later after word and their work spreading through the states, the company was off and away. They were always traveling, but their passion always bringing them back to the ocean. Whether it was taking photos of proffesional surfers or free diving, they were always in the water.
The friend group recruited more photographers through their first customers. They hired newbies to underwater photography and proffesionals who have done it for awhile. Employees of the brand have been given the same oppurtunities as the owners have, traveling the world to take pictures of our clients, to enjoy the ocean in different countries. Everyone here has similar ideas and passions, its not just a brand but rather a family. So like we treat eachother when we work, when you get time infront of the camera you become our family.
A View of It
Nathan - "We started really small, for the first three months we were just offering up photoshoots for friends. Later on those friends reached out to people who were willing to pay us pretty well. It's really like one of those fairytales you know, we just kind of blew up after that. We were booking jobs in other countries, giving us the ability to travel and see some other kinds of surf. It was really amazing actually becaue we were able to explore so much. We're all really grateful for it."
Brett - "I was really happy that we were always working together on this, it definetely took the whole team. We met more people through our first few shoots, and those few customers I think were my highlights. Them, and the whole idea behind it. Those first few customers really made up what we are, and how we treat other people. Its honestly really great that we have this whole oppurtunity, and the fact that we're just growing bigger and bigger to this day is... I can't even think of a word."
