Appreciate Light

Professional Photographer - Big Island, Hawai'i Aloha! My name is Shakthi Kumar, though most people know me as Ra. From 2011 to 2017, I specialized in capturing weddings, couples, families, and fashion - moments filled with energy, emotion, and meaning. After taking time away from professional photography to follow a new life path, I am inspired once again by the beauty of these islands and the warmth of its people to return to the art I love most. My style blends natural light with the artificial, creating a timeless, luminous look that brings out the emotion and story behind every picture. I strive to make every image feel alive and felt. Please enjoy this collection from my past work and stay tuned - new images are coming soon! Let’s create something beautiful together.
