Aloha, I just wanted to take a few moments to tell you about the great experience my wife and I had with Anthony Calleja Photography. Being from the mainland we were worried about picking out a trustworthy photographer not knowing anything about the island. Anthony made the whole process easy and comfortable. Waimanalo Beach was the perfect spot and well worth the short trip from Waikiki. The quality of Anthony's work is second to none. My wife and I were amazed with the quality of the pictures right off the camera with no editing. Also, his passion for his job really showed during the session which made things even more fun. We felt like real models and have pictures that truly make us look as such. Thank you again for capturing the memories. Mahalo, Nick & Sunny

Planning is the key to a successful on location Hawaii Photo Shoot!!! If you are visiting Hawaii and will be on island for a few days before our photo session, It is very important to stay hydrated by drinking lots of water and protecting your skin by using sunscreen.
Arrival: Never Arrive Late. Arrive 10 minutes early. Never arrive more than 20 minutes earlly
Clothing: Solid colored clothing photographs much better than stripes, plaids, and patterns. Please take a moment to revisit my portfolio and review the photos and see what might work best for you. For overcast days I recommend a splash of pastel colors. It is always a good idea to bring a change of clothes to the photo session in case you get wet or dirty.
Hair: Have options for hair in case it's windy the day of the photo session. It's always a good idea to bring a brush, comb, hair spray or jell.
Makeup: Have touch up makeup on hand in case of shine. We can provide a referral for professional makeup and hair, when requested.
Jewelry: I don't recommend wearing watches or expensive jewelry on location.
What to Bring: Drinking water, a snack, sunscreen, towel.
Security Note: Do not bring expensive items to the photo session. Make good use of your hotel's safe and leave expensive items at the hotel. Never leave important possessions in your unattended parked vehicle.
Oahu by far has the most beautiful wedding locations and many recommend having your ceremony and reception on Oahu, where famous Honolulu and buzzing Waikiki make their home, followed by a private honeymoon on the island, because the prices for weddings are generally lower on Oahu, there are a ton of spots to choose from, and it's easier to obtain a marriage license in Honolulu. If you choose to take this advice, there are many great locations in which to exchange vows, many of them free, as public beaches and parks in Hawaii are free to marry at but at times may require a permit. With the options of city and surf, nearly any type of wedding is possible on Oahu, so whether you want a more traditional church ceremony and hotel reception, or want to say your vows at the foot of a waterfall, you can make it happen in style on Oahu. Below, read up on some extraordinary outdoor locations.Your Special day is one of the most precious times in your life. It is a day of new beginnings and should be recorded, just as you dreamed. As your day unfolds, I will capture passionately behind the scenes those Special Moments that make for timeless photographs. Please take a moment to view an assortment of wedding photos and slideshows.
Great photos come from the connection between the photographer's ability to create art and the Model's ability to express themselves for the camera. Any particular photo may look completely candid, artistic, and fresh, but to some degree or another there is almost always some direction from the photographer in the mix. That's where communication comes in. You need to be able to say what you hope for in the photos and I will exchange ideas with you. The photographer will sometimes "direct" you to lean this way or that, to shake it out to feel a little looser, to "hold it…that's exactly it…that's the shot!" A strong modeling portfolio will help you succeed in today's world! Step up to the plate. See what a professional modeling portfolio can do for you and your career. Call today...

Being behind the camera I see three essential elements of wedding photography. The emotions surrounding this period of time in your relationship, our communication, and the photography itself, with its artistic and technical aspects. Capturing the special magic of your wedding in Hawaii is a great photographic art. Having studied and practiced both art photography and portrait photography most of my life, I take great pride in photographing your Hawaii Wedding day. Check out my Wedding in Hawaii Photo Gallery and see for yourself. For more wedding photo samples, please visit the wedding photography section of my site.
It's been said, a woman is most beautiful when she is with child and I stride in Capturing images you will treasure forever. Maternity or pregnancyportraits have become very popular in recent years. These once in a life-time Hapai photos can be done in the Artistic or Traditional style. Whether it's your first pregnancy or your fourth, don't let this incredible change in your body go by without capturing the miracle that is within. It doesn't matter if you're shy or outgoing, I create a warm, comfortable environment where you may wear as much or as little clothing as you prefer. Sessions could include Children, husbands, and pets.
In celebration of the birth of a new baby, this very special portrait session takes place when baby is between 2 and 6 weeks old. New Arrivals photo sessions capture the beautiful moments between a new baby and family members. I provide Newborn, Children & Family Lifestyle Portraits on location and in your home.
Is your litte boy or girl turning one? If so, you will want to take advantage of our "Baby's 1st Birthday Portrait" session! Adorable baby photos you'll have to cherish the memory of your little one's first birthday! Photographed on location at one of Oahu's breathtaking backdrops.
Some people love being in front of the camera, others aren't as comfortable. A good Family photographer must know how to deal with both ends of the spectrum and everything in between. That's my job; getting an easy give-and-take going between us. It's my job to help you relax, express who you really are, have fun with the camera, and actually enjoy the photo session. And it really can be fun! Hawaii Family Portraits using Oahu's breathtaking and Beautiful Seascapes as a backdrop.I highly recommend a location away from Waikiki Beach which can be very crowded for a family photo session, Waimanalo beach would be my first location recommendation.
What makes a photo unique? In twenty-five words or less, it's photographer's ability to frame the subject. Combining the choice of the right lens, background, foreground, angle, perspective, focal length, aperture, and so on. A great photographer can shoot in the middle of nowhere and still create timeless art. Having the great backgrounds that we have here in the Hawaiian Islands is a real advantage.
Modern senior portraits may include virtually any pose or clothing choice, within the limits of good taste. Students often appear with pets, student athletes pose in letterman jackets while many girls choose glamour photography. Outdoor "location" photos continue to increase in popularity, locations could include beach or park setting. As a high school senior photographer, I am committed to providing you with a once in a lifetime experience as well as exceptional portraits and products tailored to your needs. I create a fun and relaxed environment, while working closely with you to capture your true personality in each of your senior pictures. I offer Senior Portraits and Graduation Photography photo sessions through out the island of Oahu.
Senior portraits are often included in graduation announcements or are given to friends and family. They are also used in yearbooks and are usually rendered larger than their underclassmen counterparts and are often featured in color, even if the rest of the yearbook is mostly reproduced in black and white. In some schools the requirements are strict regarding the choice of photographer or in the style of portraiture, with only traditional-style portraits being acceptable. Many schools choose to contract one photographer for their yearbook portraits, while other schools allow many different photographers to submit yearbook portraits.
I continues to expand upon my art, always striving to explore diverse subject-matter and new concepts. Aside from a growing commercial photography business, I always finds time to materialize my own creative visions. Images displayed in the art gallery section of my site are available for purchase as limited edition prints, signed - numbered.
Every picture in the art collection tells part of a story of the clash of ancient civilizations with the modern world
