CloudBreak’s Story

Aloha! My name is Todd. I’m a photographer based in Hawai’i on the island of O’ahu. I am passionate about photographing landscape and nature and I particularly love incorporating people and families. My wife and I have lived in Hawai’i since 2011. As you can see, our daughter and bulldog are two of my favorite models.

Photography is such a powerful way to both convey emotions and tell a story. As a parent myself, I remember what it was like to see those really powerful images that capture how I feel about my family. I remember the emotions I felt when I saw those images for the first time and I want to be able to help families connect with one another and to share their unique stories and just how amazing they truly are.

If you would like to join me for a shoot, photo tours are available as well. I started CloudBreak Photography because everyone who comes to O’ahu sees sunsets from Waikiki. That’s only a fraction of what Hawaii has to offer, though. Not everyone gets to see the sunrise from Waimanalo or is able to wait for the perfect light on Lanikai. I spend my time shooting from less-popular locations to give you a view of Oah’u that not everyone is privileged to see. I haven’t shot everywhere, and I certainly don’t know everything, but I am willing to share where I have and what I know because Hawai’i is more than Waikiki.

Thank you for checking out my website. If you’d like to see more, you can also find my images on Facebook here and Instagram here. In addition to my gallery on this site, I also have a gallery posted on Flickr here.
