I'm Alec, an event photographer based in Oahu, Hawaii. I specialize in esports and live events, but clients don't just hire a portfolio. They hire a person, and this page is about who shows up.
I'm the guy in the room who's easy to spot and easier to work with. I'm educated, well spoken, and I dress for the occasion, whether that's a convention floor or a corporate ballroom. I travel regularly for assignments, from championship weekends in Tokyo to trade events in San Francisco, so I know punctuality isn't optional. Clients hire me because I'm professional from the first email to the final delivery. Repeat clients hire me because I'm detail oriented with shot lists, schedules, and backups, and easygoing with the people in front of my lens.
When I'm not shooting events, I'm underwater. I've been passionate about marine life since I was a kid, and that passion took me from recreational diving to scientific dive work supporting coral research.
Underwater photography turns out to be great training for events. Both demand careful preparation, patience, and calm under pressure, because the moment only happens once and my job is to be ready when it does.
