Miguel takes his artistic perspective from a combination of influences - from being born and raised in Hawaiʻi , reading manga and fantasy novels growing up, videogames that explore settings like Cyberpunk and Post-Apocalyptic, being a part of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community - and mixes them into something unique and all his own. He strives to always make clients laugh and to have a fun experience, rathe
r than just a fun photo session, and making sure everyone feels comfortable. No matter what the genre, his clients always remember not just the candid laughs that were had, but also the level of artwork created in the process that they receive afterwards.
Miguel Morales Photography provides reasonable photo session rates and can touch up photos as necessary.

Experimental photos I took with not that long ago - got to try a certain effect I'll be making a reel on later along with some golden hour lighting - I'm gonna try to get the effect better but I think for a first photoset with it, I got to get some cool ones out of it 📸

Cricket at the Beach (2024) 💙
//
Early mornings may not be my ideal for waking up, but they're perfect for golden hour photos - I took a couple ones with Cricket early morming before I had to head to Kawaii Kon later that day - the lighting kept changing that day so I experimented with a few different looks! I also really loved this specific color blue for the suit - it paired really well with the white and the golden hour lighting 🌤

Both are the creation of @7elevenhi working alongside @hardershawaii , and the flavors are made in Hawai'i with cane sugar 🥭🥤 // I wanted to also support a local company and saw that @cheehoo treats (by @banan on O'ahu) had individual packs of their banana based ice cream, so I picked the original Banana Bliss 🍌 and on top of that got the new 7-Eleven tote bag (which is perfect because my old one broke recently 😅) // Go and visit and snag some free goodies today while supplies last! For Maui-specifically, our location is located in Kahului across of Wendy's and next to Goodyear 🙌🏼 also shoutout to @kyylizzle___ for helping record me and this cool Hokusai Blue shirt from @uniqlo_hawaii 📸 - - - - - #onlyat7eleven #freeslurpeeday #7elevenday #7eleven #yelphawaii #eatingfortheinsta #onokinegrindz #hawaiireels #foodreels #hawaiifoodfinds #hawaiieats #hawaiifoodie #mauireel #maui🌴 #foodiefeature #slurpee #hawaiifoodieclub #pickledmango #lychee

• A Visit to Junbi Waikiki 🍵🧋 // Located at the Royal Hawaiian Center and open daily from 9AM - 9PM, @junbiwaikiki /@junbimatcha is a super cute stop that provides plenty of matcha green tea drinks, coffee, and even soft serve for those exploring in Waikiki and looking for a place to rest, or a place for a pick-me-up to continue their adventures 🥤 // Me and @kawaiisukixo had a chance to try their POG Matcha and Guava Matcha variations, and they were super fun to shake and just as fun to drink - the combinations really pair well, and it was my first time seeing guava with matcha in my travels! // If you're in the @royalhwnctr in Waikiki, be sure to stop by and comment below what your favorite matcha drink is, or what you ended up ordering at Junbi! ✨️ - - - - - #matchalover #junbi #matchalatte #matcha #oahubusiness #waikiki #royalhawaiianshoppingcenter #matchalover #oahucommunity #oahufood #oahufoodie #oahufoodventures #yelphawaii #eatingfortheinsta #onokinegrindz #foodphotography #foodreels #hawaiifoodfinds #hawaiieats #hawaiifoodie #foodblogger #drinkreels #foodiefeature #passionorangeguava #hawaiifoodieclub
• Affordable Afternoons (O'ahu) @5bentobox 🍴 // I'm always on the go when visiting O'ahu for work, and I'd usually be passing by the $5 Bento Box truck on my way to Kaka'ako, and after getting some recommendations to try, I'd definitely say they're worth checking out - especially if you're like me and working on a traveling budget rather than an all-expenses buffet kind of deal 👟 // From both $5 (and $6) Bento Boxes to Dole Whip and Smoothies, they have plenty of options to keep you satisfied (and the portion was relatively big and I was full for quite some time) - I had the Hamburger Steak and Gravy that day, but I may potentially want to try one of the $6 Fish Bentos or the Dole Whip next time I visit! They have a couple locations around the island that you can find on their instagram, but the one I went to that day was near the wharf at Kaka'ako in town 🍽 - - - - - #5bentobox #oahueats #oahufood #oahutravel #oahufoodie #bentoboxlunch #mauifoodie #hawaiifood #hawaiifoodie #onokinegrindz #eatingfortheinsta
