Kisau Photography Spark Academy Happy Planet Children Be Bolder. Dream Bigger. Finding purpose in life has been a journey that's taken me through different paths and experiences. I've learned that empowering people to be bolder and dream bigger every day is a powerful way to find purpose in my own life. This approach has been particularly relevant in my work in fashion and editorial photography, software engineering leadership and management, and fundraising for an orphanage in Vietnam.
As a fashion and editorial photographer, I've found that empowering people means creating a space for diverse voices and perspectives to be heard. It means supporting emerging talent and providing opportunities to help them build their confidence and portfolio and hone their skills. I love seeing someone I’ve collaborated with on a photoshoot flourish, knowing I had a small role in their success. ⨁

Fashion & editorial photography isn’t just about snapping a well-dressed model. It’s about storytelling, mood, and capturing that electric spark between the subject, the clothing, and the environment. At Kisau Photography, I collaborate with designers, models, stylists, and creatives to bring bold visions to life. Whether it’s a high-fashion editorial, a themed photoshoot, or an experimental concept, I thrive on making images that feel alive. ⨁
Runway photography is an art form of its own. From the fast-paced energy of New York Fashion Week (NYFW) to emerging designers’ showcases, I love freezing those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments—the swish of a gown, the flick of a model’s hair, the intensity of a designer’s vision coming to life. ⨁
Seeing a photoshoot published in a magazine is always an exciting milestone. Kisau Photography has been featured in numerous fashion and trade magazines, including L'Officiel, showcasing the incredible talents I get to work with. Whether it’s a fashion editorial spread, a cover shoot, or an in-depth feature, my goal is to create images that speak volumes and leave a lasting impact. ⨁
Photography isn’t just for models and designers. If you’re an entrepreneur, creative, or business owner, you know how important it is to have powerful, professional visuals that reflect your brand’s identity. Through branding and identity photography, I help businesses create compelling images for their websites, social media, and marketing campaigns. From sleek corporate headshots to lifestyle branding that feels authentic and engaging, I craft visuals that make an impact. ⨁
One of my most personal and exciting projects is The Melbourne Portraits Project, a photo series and book that captures Melbourne’s creative soul during a pivotal moment in time. This collection showcases over 100 photoshoots, transforming the city’s streets into a vibrant studio. Want to dive deeper? The Book Corner is where you’ll find my published works and other favorite books about photography and fashion. ⨁

Whether you seek captivating editorials, expressive branding images, dynamic runway moments, or intimate portrait series, Kisau Photography is about crafting images that resonate and tell meaningful stories.

As a software engineering leader, empowering people means creating an environment where growth, learning, and collaboration are valued. It means helping individuals identify their strengths and weaknesses and providing them with the tools and resources they need to develop their skills. It is incredibly fulfilling to see my team members grow in their roles and take on new challenges. ⨁
Finally, in my philanthropic work, empowering people means supporting vulnerable children in Vietnam and giving them access to the education and resources they need to thrive. It's a small way to create a positive impact in the world, and even the smallest contributions can make a huge difference. ⨁
Empowering people to be bolder and dream bigger every day requires empathy, leadership, and vision. It means recognizing and celebrating the unique qualities and strengths of each individual and providing them with the support they need to achieve their goals. It also means creating a culture of trust, respect, and inclusion that fosters innovation and creativity.
Ultimately, finding purpose by empowering people to be bolder and dream bigger every day is about creating a better world for ourselves and future generations. It's about recognizing that our actions have a far-reaching impact on the world around us and that we have the power to create positive change, one small step at a time.
