Paul Tocatlian · Kisau Photography

Hot off the press. New photo book just dropped on kisau.com. Check it out!

Set in #HongKong, this editorial with Meko Cheung pairs the movement of a #BachMai dress with the city’s layered atmosphere. Meko’s quiet strength and expressive presence shape each frame, while the location deepens the story without overpowering it. kisau.com/2026/03/30/mek…

I first met Jango on stage, and his presence was impossible to ignore. This portrait session and Q&A explore the confidence, contrast, and clarity he brings to music and modeling. kisau.com/2026/03/23/jan…

Business Life featured Kisau Photography in a story that captures the heart of my work. Grateful for the recognition and for every collaborator who helps bring these stories to life. kisau.com/2026/03/20/bus…

Cropping an image is not cleanup. It is the moment a #photograph becomes honest. By studying edges, protecting negative space, and choosing one visual anchor, I decide what stays quiet, what carries tension, and what story the frame finally reveals. kisau.com/2026/03/20/cro…

Post a picture YOU took. Just a pic. No description

@sama Sounds like a thank you and farewell. #rip

I have so much gratitude to people who wrote extremely complex software character-by-character. It already feels difficult to remember how much effort it really took. Thank you for getting us to this point.

A wetland trail, a lone doorway, three dresses. Stacy steps through as I photograph two stories at once, fashion and place. Same frame, shifting presence, small then big. #photoshoot kisau.com/2026/02/16/nat…

Golden hills, a crown of branches, and a bouquet tossed to the sky. A small #fairytale about choosing joy, taking up space, and blessing your own future with a single brave gesture. #photoshoot kisau.com/2026/02/15/the…

At Pulgas Water Temple, Marisol moved between temple and water in a blue gown, wearing a necklace by Butones Jewelry, with hair and makeup by Wilson Quang, as light shaped a cinematic fashion story. Intention anchored the story. #photoshoot kisau.com/2026/02/13/scu…

Inspired by Victor Victoria, this editorial with Jing Su explores identity through fashion and performance. Tailoring, gesture, and presence shift with each frame. Not disguise, but self definition. Performance blurs reality. kisau.com/2026/02/09/per…

@mark_k @SpaceX No surprise @SpaceX is aiming at the #Moon, not #Mars. Mars runs on big promises, thin funding, and one true believer. The Moon is familiar, funded, and achievable. We have been there and know the playbook.

Elon Musk just announced a major strategic pivot for @SpaceX: the company is officially shifting its primary focus to building a "self-growing city" on the Moon. The logic is centered on speed. While Mars missions are restricted by orbital alignments every 26 months, SpaceX can launch to the Moon every 10 days. This allows for much faster iteration and development. @elonmusk estimates that a lunar city could be achieved in less than 10 years. In contrast, a similar presence on Mars is now projected to take 20 or more years to establish. Mars remains on the long-term roadmap with work potentially starting in 5 to 7 years, but the immediate priority is now "securing the future of civilization" via the faster lunar route.

From #yoga mats to city streets in Osaka, this shoot follows movement beyond practice. Studio rooted and street ready, @aloyoga flows through breath and balance. What begins on the mat carries into everyday life, calm, intentional, and ready to move. kisau.com/2026/02/09/alo…

A walk through Villa Montalvo turned into a memorable #photoshoot. Marisol chose the BRAXTON look, moved with confidence, shaped by Wilson’s hair and makeup artistry, and grounded with Butones Jewelry. kisau.com/2026/02/06/mar…

What does it look like to stay cool when everything around you is moving fast? In Komyoike near #Osaka, Kaori holds her ground as an #eagle lands and a #hawk takes off, powered by trust, patience, and calm confidence as strength meets flight. kisau.com/2026/02/03/fea…

The mission starts underground. Leila catches the light, composure leads the way, and every step is intentional. In a place built for limits, belief turns direction into power. Mission possible. kisau.com/2026/02/01/mis…

Thrilled to share that my photographs are featured on the cover and pages of PHOTOHOUSE Magazine. Made in Japan during a workshop with @TedForbes and a powerful Butoh performance by @Temmetsu. kisau.com/2026/01/29/tem…

Fashion meets lifestyle in #Osaka, where Ayane finds herself in a #bookstore cafe, shaped by quiet warmth, borrowed stories, and calm intent. Soft light, heavy layers, and #coffee frame presence over posing, letting style feel lived in and at ease. kisau.com/2026/01/28/qui…

Moments of pause can reveal as much as movement. They create space to listen and notice what surfaces. These images of Stacy Huang live between gestures and glances, where the pause is attentive and unguarded. kisau.com/2026/01/25/sta…

@appleinsider This looks like Apple deprioritizing AI foundations. Moving AI under software leadership signals focus on integration and consuming external models rather than building and owning core AI at the foundation level.

Apple software chief Craig Federighi has taken control of Apple's AI teams.

@redbullracing @SimonRDesigns Red Bull can repaint the car all they want. The stopwatch won’t be impressed.

You thought it was gonna be the same livery, didn't you? 😜 🎨 @simonrdesigns #F1 || #RedBullRacing
