What Clients Say
“We hired Kofi for some portrait shots in SF, and he quickly became our go-to portrait and event photographer. He puts people at ease and captures great candid and posed shots in all kinds of situations, and we will definitely continue working with him on future projects.”
Sabrina Paynter, JVS“We hired Kofi Dodi for our annual CISO Party at Canyon Club Brewery. Kofi communicated beforehand, arrived promptly and was incredibly friendly. It was a very large party with over 100 people and he managed to capture some beautiful candid photos as well as group pictures.”
