filmmaker // photojournalist // writer
My name is Alben Osaki and I’m a photographer, filmmaker, and writer, currently based in Austin, TX. I served in the US Navy right out of high school and later attended college in Manhattan. Then, after a year in New York City, I moved back to my home state of Hawai'i where I graduated with his degree in video production.
Currently, I’m a marketing team lead at Patagonia.
I’ve done work for companies and nonprofits including Hawaiian Airlines, Climbing Magazine, Fox Sports, BAIST Gloves, Crux Wilderness Therapy, and the American Alpine Club.
I shoot stills and motion for brands, nonprofits, and editorial clients who care about the outdoors and the people in it. I’m comfortable in technical terrain, travel light, and am a certified Wilderness First Responder and a nationally registered EMT.
I’m an avid rock climber and like to share my love of outdoor adventure in the content I produce.
