"The most premier talent on Hawaii that is very humble. Mike Vidales is a artist of photography and allows the person viewing his photos to see into the client's soul.
As I was looking for an amazing photographer on my island of Kauai, it was difficult. My questions were: if I go off island will it be worth it? Is there a photographer that can coach me? In searching off-island for a skilled-quality photographer, I discovered Mike Vidales.
The first notable quality I noticed was that Mikes pictures had creativity and depth in every photo I saw. He made normal people like me have emotional quality and sincerity. This is what I was looking for.
Mike was very accommodating with my flight schedule and coached me to show my best on film.
Not only would I travel inter-island to work with him again - I would also encourage anyone from the mainland who wants a professional, high quality and experienced photographer to hire Mike Vidales.
Professional Headshots That Feel Natural
My approach to a good headshot is making sure you feel and look relaxed, conversational, and straightforward. I provide simple direction that helps you feel comfortable and look natural. Small adjustments in posture, expression, and positioning can make a huge difference in how a professional headshot feels and how others perceive you.
The goal is to create headshots that look confident, approachable, and authentic. Whether you're updating your LinkedIn profile, company website, professional bio, press features, marketing materials, or personal brand, you'll receive images that feel like the best version of yourself.

Mobile Headshot Studio Available Across Oʻahu
Need professional headshots for your team without coordinating travel to a photography studio?
Our mobile headshot studio allows us to bring the entire professional photography experience directly to your office, hotel, conference center, convention venue, coworking space, or event location anywhere on Oʻahu.
We provide professional studio lighting, backdrop options, tethered image review, and a streamlined workflow designed to create high-quality portraits efficiently while maintaining a relaxed experience for every participant.

Conference Headshots and Corporate Event Photography
Professional headshot stations have become one of the most popular activations at conferences, conventions, trade shows, leadership summits, nonprofit events, and corporate gatherings.
Unlike many event experiences, attendees leave with something immediately valuable: a professional headshot they can use for LinkedIn, company websites, speaking engagements, press features, marketing materials, and professional branding.
Our conference headshot services can include:
• Professional headshot photography
• Studio lighting and backdrop setup
• Mobile headshot studio installation
• High-volume attendee workflow
• On-site image review
• Individual gallery delivery
• Corporate branding options
• Professional retouching services
Whether your event includes 25 attendees or several hundred, we can create a seamless experience that keeps lines moving efficiently while delivering professional portraits attendees are excited to use.
Instant Image Review and Selection with On-Site Digital Tech Support
For conferences, conventions, trade shows, and corporate events, we can provide dedicated Digital Tech support that allows attendees to review and select their favorite image shortly after being photographed.
Instead of waiting days or weeks to sort through large galleries of proofs, participants can view their portraits on-site and choose the image they feel best represents them professionally. This streamlined workflow helps eliminate guesswork, improves participant satisfaction, and speeds up final image delivery.
Having a dedicated Digital Tech also allows the photographer to remain focused on lighting, posing, expression, and creating strong portraits while attendees receive personalized assistance with image review and selection.
This service is especially popular for corporate headshot stations, conference activations, leadership summits, networking events, nonprofit conferences, and trade shows where efficiency, attendee experience, and fast turnaround are priorities.
The result is a smoother event experience, faster delivery times, and professional headshots that attendees are genuinely excited to use for LinkedIn profiles, company websites, marketing materials, speaking engagements, and personal branding.
Professional Retouching Included for Individual Sessions or Add - On Option for Events
Every selected image goes through a professional retouching process designed to create a polished final portrait while maintaining a natural appearance.
Retouching may include:
• Shine reduction
• Stray hair cleanup
• Skin retouching
• Under-eye softening
• Minor distraction removal
• Color and exposure refinement
The goal is never to make someone look different. Instead, the focus is on creating a clean, professional image that still feels authentic and true to the individual.
