James Anshutz Photography, Honolulu

Award-winning photographer James Anshutz focuses his lens to snap subjects in vibrant settings and often evokes a sense of humor alongside the beauty in his work. Believing that input from clients is key to capturing their most natural selves and any ghosts following them, Anshutz welcomes feedback and suggestions during shoots. Subjects guide the portraiteer with their unique creative and collaborative energies, ensuring each shoot ends with a string of one-of-a-kind photos. Afterward, Anshutz preserves unedited memories of the session on digital CDs and can edit images with basic retouching to bring out the best in subjects and remove all showboating squirrels.
