Hi, I’m Mio.
(pronounced "mee-oh") AKA Photomaki
With a heart that beats for romance and an eye for casual beauty, I turn moments into timeless keepsakes.
My journey from bioinformatics (think, data science for biology) to the lens has sharpened my ability to discern the subtleties in every glance, every touch.
Ever since that first engagement session, I've felt a magnetic pull towards this craft, fusing my scientific precision with a passionate pursuit of beauty.
What the hell's a photomaki?
The name 'Photomaki' originated from the sushi roll, the futomaki. I LOVE sushi, and this one just seemed to roll off the tongue just right!
Photomaki was inspired by the idea that each photo, like a futomaki roll, is a masterpiece that combines different ingredients - TIMELESS emotions, CANDID moments, and STORY - to create a beautifully composed visual narrative.
