Michelle Mishina is a photographer based between Hawaii and California whose work uncovers the intimate narratives behind her subjects—revealing what you'd only know if you were close to them. Her images use light and color to tell stories that feel both personal and expansive.
Michelle needed an identity that could hold its own in a saturated market of photography studios while staying quiet enough to let her work breathe. The tension was finding presence without dominance—something distinctive that wouldn't compete with the photographs themselves.

I created an identity system that reflects Michelle's curiosity and playful spirit without overpowering her images. The mark and typography act as a frame rather than a statement, flexible enough to work across print, digital, and exhibition contexts while consistently supporting the work at the center.
