Kisau Photography

Welcome to Kisau Photography. Hi, my name is Paul Tocatlian, and I find purpose by empowering people to be bolder and dream bigger every day. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, but it’s hard to pinpoint where my home is. My photographic journey spans five continents and takes a lighthearted walk through a universe of loosely interconnected fashion and editorial portraits. I am an award-winning, and published photographer thrilled to be drawing inspiration from the vibrant community of creative minds around me, sharing our photographs, and seeking feedback along the way. Wonder what inspires me? There is nothing that inspires me more than celebrating the beauty and capturing the essence of the person I am photographing. My personal criteria for a great portrait consists of an authentic portrayal capturing a moment in time with a tangible aesthetic and storytelling component that draws on the different emotions people experience. Interested in collaborating? I look forward to collaborating with models, designers, hair & makeup artists, and other creatives who are inspired by the same aesthetic sensibilities and seek to tell stories that celebrate life, reflect the world around us and connect with people. Let’s do it!
