NEW WORK FOR MAKANA FRAGRANCE
Makana means "gift" in Hawaiian.
“Traditional Hawaiian beliefs contend that people, animals, and the land do not exist independently of one another. Rather, all of our destinies are intertwined.”
It’s been a dream to finally work with Makana Fragrance & I am so excited to share my recent work! (visit my portfolio here)
I discovered Makana last summer and immediately fell in love with the brand’s aesthetic, quality and fragrance collection. Aligning with a brand’s ethos is very important to me; it helps me feel more connected and more creative. Sharing distinct roots in Hawaiʻi’s culture & traditions also made working with Makana even more special.
The concept around this campaign came from an emphasis on light & texture; using minimal organic environments to encapsulate this brand’s essence. I shot on both 35mm film and digital.
More work to come…
