Firebird Photos

My name is Cheyne Gallarde and I’m a photographer in Honolulu, Hawaii.

I was born and raised in Honolulu. I’ve been interested in art and color ever since I could first pick up a pencil. As a child, I practiced re-creating the cartoon and comic characters I surrounded myself with. You know that test in the comics where they ask you to draw a turtle to see if you qualify for art school? Yeah, I took that test for fun.

In my years of graphic design experience I’ve had the pleasure of working with many diverse clients, each with its own unique set of demands. I started offering photography as part of my web design services, mostly documenting products or customer service shots. It wasn’t long before I started to pursue photography more seriously.

Because of my experience on the stage and screen (both on camera and off), I compose my shots as though they were movie scenes, which results in memorable images that are unique, but somehow familiar.

If you’re looking for a fashion or modelling photographer or someone to capture your wedding in Hawaii, please give me a call.
