Our Story…
Raised by the Waves Photo Journal is a visual storytelling studio based in Honolulu, founded by Letticia Bissondut.
The studio works with businesses, creatives, and hospitality brands to create imagery that reflects how their work actually feels — not just how it looks.
With a background in editorial photography and brand storytelling, Letticia approaches each project as both a photographer and creative partner, helping clients build visual content they can use across websites, campaigns, and social platforms.
I’m a visual storyteller and creative director working across Hawai‘i and beyond.
My work is rooted in documenting real environments and the people behind them — the spaces where brands become recognizable through consistency, connection, and story.
Over time, I’ve collaborated on editorial projects, brand campaigns, and small business storytelling, creating imagery used across publications, websites, and social media.
Today, my focus is helping businesses build visual consistency and share their story in a way that feels natural and aligned.
