Started this career of photography in 2019 and I have been blessed with countless opportunities to capture the precious fleeting moments of life.
See my workAloha!
My name is Shizen. I am originally from Nepal and have been on Maui since 2019. In my previous career, I was an engineer in the tech industry in California.
One visit to Maui back in 2015, I met a park ranger at a beach that called this beautiful island his office. I got inspired by him. His words stuck in my head for years and it motivated me to combine my passion for being outdoors and photography to start a new career. Since then I have been blessed to capture the cherished moments for many families (including my own) to look back at with fondness for years to come. I prefer my sessions to be playful and to be remembered as a fun experience.
I am looking forward to creating fun and exciting memories with you!
Kind Words from our clients
My fiancé and I were headed to Maui for a vacation and I came across a 1 hour photo shoot and figured I would use the beautiful location for our engagement photos - and I am SO glad I did! Shizen made us feel comfortable and relaxed and his location selection was superb. We had so much fun finding our way down a beautiful path to the water, and I think the fun we had really came through in the pictures. If you're on the fence don't be - book him right now!!

Shizen is a true STAR in his profession.
We had our engagement/wedding photos with Shizen on Maui in April 2024.
While we would happily spend hours talking to anyone who wants to know more about our experience, we will keep it short and cover the highlights.
Communication. Shizen was incredibly accessible, even WITH a 6-hour time difference between Maui and Toronto. Always quick to respond. On the day of our photoshoot was no different. We were a bit late due to some traffic, and he was incredibly patient and offered us a sense of calm.
Overall Experience: A+. Top notch. Insert your favourite adjective for "GREAT". Shizen made us feel incredibly comfortable throughout our entire time with him. He made it fun, relaxing, and we truly enjoyed ourselves. He made us feel like celebrities for a day.
Quality: Our families (and us!) were SO happy, impressed, and in awe of Shizen's masterful photography. He truly was able to capture the beauty of Hawaii, and also have us in the pictures too :). We can't say enough about how proud we are to be able to send our photos to our friends and family.
Shizen, thank you so much for your partnership. You are a gift to your industry!
