Waikiki Malia

Creative Direction & Production

We oversaw all aspects of production, including budgeting, staffing, hiring, and securing nearby locations. Our creative direction shaped the look and feel of the shoot, emphasizing the beautifully designed and nostalgic Waikiki Malia hotel. Collaborating closely with the photographer, we captured the heart of Waikiki, presenting it as a tropical playground where guests can unwind, refresh, and immerse themselves in the local arts, culture, and vibrant atmosphere.
