Thank you very much for finding me and my website.

My name is Isayas “Junior” Mandrial, and I am a photographer with a keen, creative eye for beauty, detail, and storytelling. I am based in Honolulu, but open to travel.

I rely on my 40-year-hairstyling career and my 42-year-hula practice for crafting my memorable pictures.

I have worked with clients ranging from actors to CEOs, and captured events from surprise proposals to funerals, and shot on movie sets to hula stages.

My photography has been published in magazines and exhibited in art shows, as shown here with my “Ho’okupu” which was juror-selected into this year’s Contemporary Photography in Hawai‘i, The Seventeenth Annual Survey Exhibition: Sponsored by Pacific New Media Foundation.

My current portrait muse is my adorable, seven-month-old grandson, Silas.

I make impactful images that last a lifetime, and I look forward to working with you.
