Art Direction & Photography, Kapwa Co. started from buying cameras, lighting, and backdrops whilst being locked down in a tiny apartment during the 2020 pandemic. What began as good, simple, fun became passion projects come to life.

From corporate headshots, to engagement photos, to self-love photo session birthday gifts, we love creating an experience where people can have a little model moment.
