Michael Mendoza - January 28, 2013 I hired Bob to photograph my wife’s retirement ceremony aboard the USS Missouri. My wife was retiring after 27 years of service to the Army, so I wanted to make sure we captured every moment possible. Bob’s website and photographs is what lead me to call him for services, the way he took the time to ensure his website was very professional caught my eye, unlike some other photographers websites. We could not be happier! Bob captured moments that we will treasure as a family for a life time. Bob was very professional and with his aloha spirit made everyone feel very comfortable with him moving around to capture the perfect photos. If you want to capture special moments and want a photographer that has fair prices and works hard do not leave this website Bob is your man!

oahu portrait photographers - bob the camera man
Rik - January 12, 2014 I recently called Bob the Cameraman with a challenging request. Not only was it going to be a physical challenge, it was also last minute. My girlfriend and I had a vacation planned in Honolulu and about a week before we left I decided that the time was right to pop the question. I knew the location had to be on the rim of Koko Crater I just had to find a camera man willing to make that trek. Bob was beyond accommodating. He was both willing and excited for the opportunity. He came up with great ideas to help make the moment more special. He suggested that we hike before sunrise so we could be on the rim of the crater to watch it rise over the ocean. He did research on his own time to find the times and position of the sunrise in order to give us the ultimate experience which was unexpected and very thoughtful. Bob hiked the Koko trailhead with all of his gear in the moonlight before we did and was waiting at the top of the climb to take pictures of our last steps. My girlfriend was obviously unaware that this was anything other than an ordinary hike so Bob followed behind us snapping candid shots until we got to the spot where I popped the question. Once the cat was out of the bag and she said YES, Bob started to work his magic. Bob had great ideas for posing and chose great spots to really capture the magic of the scenery and the moment. We can not express how much fun we had working with him. His laid back attitude and great sense of humor made the experience that much sweeter. Also, his enthusiasm for his work is unparalleled. We would definitely recommend Bob to anyone looking for beautiful, unique shots and a fun photography experience. We look forward to working with him again!!
Mark Silva - May 6, 2013 Bob is not only an expert at lighting and other important aspects of photography, but also very creative and fun to work with. He knows how to put you at ease while creating your photos. He also is good at finding out what you want and then helping make sure the results are what you had in mind! He has great ideas and his work is awesome!
Donut - January 14, 2013 Myself and my 4 teenage children went to Waikiki for the 1st time over the Thanksgiving holiday. I found Bob via a Google search. Out of the 4 or 5 photographers I contacted he was one of the 1st to replay in a matter of hours. Bob made my list of choices because his web site and photos looked professional and his fee seemed reasonable. We spoke via internet and telephone about the shoot look, location, and, clothing. Again Bob was very professional and everything was confirmed with a deposit from me and a contract from Bob on what to expect the day of the shoot. When we arrived to Hawaii a day before the shoot I realized that my girls would need hair and make up done. Bob was able to arrange this even though it was so last minute. The shoot went great and Bob was great with the kids getting them to open up and shine for the camera. I am completely satisfied with Bob's service and was even more satisfied once I saw the proofs. The only thing that I didn't like which I'm sure is the norm in this profession is the add-ons or up selling. Don't get me wrong I wasn't made to purchase or charged any more the what we initially agreed upon, but at the same time I personally would like to know what the possible add-ons / upgrades could be so I know what I'm really in store for. Once again I wasn't made to purchase more or charged more then originally agreed upon. Kind of like the feeling you get when buying a car In the end Bob said Merry Christmas and cut me a deal. He's a good man and I would definitely use his services again and/or recommend him.
Owen, Pacific Capital Investments - September 16, 2012A picture is worth a thousand words, so our company had to find a great photographer. Bob is easy to work with and professional in everything he does. Our proofs came back within several days and they were just what we wanted. If you are looking for someone to handle your company photos I definitely recommend Bob. Five stars on service and quality.
good service photography - bob the camera man
Dean - November 18, 2014 Here's the thing. You have many photographers who can take good pictures. But you can't get the personalized service that Bob gives you. He knows places. He knows angles. But he also knows service. He meets us where ever we request. My kids love him and he does a fantastic job making a connection with them. Great pics, but the pics only tell part of the story. Like I said, his service makes him a cut above. I had a much more expensive photographer on the North Shore that made us come to HER locations. And we had to go to HER place several times for things like payment, picking pictures, etc. Bob - he does it different and THAT is the reason we've used him for 5-6 years.
The Soong Family - September 3, 2013 We can’t say enough wonderful things about Bob The Camerman! At our family reunion photo session, Bob was prompt, professional and friendly. Plus, he was experienced and skilled enough to get the youngest tots to pay attention and smile, as well as the teens, which is not an easy task! We couldn’t be more pleased at how smoothly the shoot went and especially the results. Besides our large group photo, Bob took individual family photos, and everyone agrees that he did a fantastic job. We highly recommend Bob. Five stars!!!
Chris Ross - April 20, 2013 Bob the Cameraman is truly an artist! He was recommended to me by a friend when I was looking to take some professional family photos and he totally surpassed my expectations. He set up some amazing shots on the north shore (just check out his website), and I have already recommended him to some friends and family. For the prices that he charges the pictures are a steal.
Jen - October 20, 2012 I was looking for something different for our family photos this time around and knew that meant I needed a different kind of photographer. Someone suggested Bob the Camera Man and I knew quickly that he was what I was looking for and I got just what I wanted, photos I am happy to put up in my home. There is nothing stock about these photos. I couldn't be happier.

Molly - September 26, 2014 I am not even sure where to begin with the amazing experience we had with Bob. First off we flew in from Alaska for our honeymoon, my husband booked this as a surprise for me and when i had the dates wrong for the time we would be there Bob had no problem working with my husband to change the dates and still make himself available for us. He has kept amazing communication with us the entire time from before we made to the island all the way up until out photos where in our hands. He answered all of our questions with in a timely manner. During the photo shoot Bob did an amazing job of making us feel relaxed and made a very fun environment for us to be in and just really be our self’s for the photos. He made sure that we got all of the poses that we knew we wanted as well as many that he suggested that we loved, but had not even thought of. He made the process very easy to pick out our photos online since we are all the way in Alaska. Once we had them all picked out he sent us out finished product in what seemed like just a matter of days. All of the prints are stunning and such high quality of work. You can defiantly tell that Bob is extremely professional and knows what he is doing down to the last drop. I cannot stress enough how thankful Jack and I are that he was able to capture this amazing time for us to keep forever. I highly recommend Bob and hope to work with him again in the future. Thanks again Bob.
Alexandre Carneiro - May 23, 2013 Just stop looking around for a photographer in Hawaii !!! My wife and I had a session with him at Sandy Beach early this year ... What an amazing time! Bob is extremely talented, very relax to work with and the most important thing in my opinion: he does his job with lot of passion ...so, there is no way not to have wonderful pictures. Hard part of all this is to choose your favorites! We have liked them all ... Thanks Bob!!! It will be a memory for the rest of our lives.
Abby Metzler - February 28, 2013 My husband and I had the pleasure of doing a wonderful photo shoot with Bob on our vacation to Hawaii. We couldn't be more pleased with the experience and our pictures. Bob is a wonderful person of integrity, fun and personable and has been gifted with capturing amazing shots and bringing personalities to the photo. We are looking forward to returning again and doing another photo shoot in the future.
Beth, Central Self-Storage, Pegasus Group - August 20, 2012 We hired Bob to take photos of our self storage facility and he did an amazing job. It’s hard to make a self storage facility look beautiful but he did it. We would recommend him to anyone for anything. Very professional, creative and an all around nice guy!

The pictures came out beautiful and we will always remember you and treasure every moment. Stay bless and may God continue to bless you and your family.
Ashlyn Asato - May 26, 2013 My mother-in-law thought hiring a professional photographer for my twins' baby luau might be a good idea as we were all sure to be busy with guests, and boy did this turn out to be an excellent idea! Bob captured all the moments we had hoped for, and many many others we wouldn't have thought to. He is incredibly easy to work with, is punctual, accommodating, patient, and most of all, has an incredible eye for candid shots. I couldn't believe he only charged us a fraction of what other photographers quoted, and produced some of the best candid shots I'd ever seen. He is quite the find!
Charlie L - April 1, 2013 After we had found Bob The Camera Man on the internet, we had made arrangements to have a photo shoot on the beach on our Hawaiian Christmas holiday. Having never done a photo shoot with my family of five before, I was a little apprehensive and didn't know what to expect. When Bob showed up at our resort for the shoot, I found him to be very professional, and at the same time easy to work with. He produced some very interesting pictures ( poses & backdrops ) and he was always receptive to our suggestions. The end results exceeded all expectations and will forever be cherished memories! I would highly recommend Bob The Camera Man!
