HI, I AM OKIKI BISHOP, A VISUAL STORYTELLER!
Losing my mom made me realize the importance of capturing moments in photos and films. I couldn't grieve for my mom as I would have loved to; there were no videos of her - of us, just to have a piece of her in motion or hear her voice - nothing to hold on to for nostalgia's sake.
I picked up my first camera with the motive to document my personal experiences and stories around me. This led me to street photography, then elopement wedding photography where I began my journey as a storyteller, documenting love stories. Meeting lovers from different parts of the world, learning different cultures, capturing raw emotions and culture, built a passion for capturing remarkable moments and creating timeless stories I never knew existed in me.
My story-driven approach to videography got me featured in a New-York Times Post in 2017.
The best part of this journey is having my clients become not just another story to tell, but becoming friends with me.
