Aika Foz
Seattle Photographer
An award-winning destination film photographer for the modern globe-trotting couple desiring an elevated experience.
When you look at a photograph of you or those you love, does it take you back to that very moment? Can you smell it, hear it, feel it? As a fine art film and digital photographer, these are the emotions Aika Foz strives to capture in every photograph she takes.
What began as a passion for capturing fleeting moments, inspired by her motherhood journey, Aika turned her love for the art of photography into her career. The joy that fills Aika’s heart, while bearing witness to a couple’s beginnings in their love story, is the driving force behind Aika’s business.
Aika relishes in the reality that has found her as an artist as she carefully balances the curated moments with the candid in between glimpses.
Aika was voted Best Double Exposure Image for Belle Lumiere’s End of the Year Awards in 2021. In addition to Magnolia Rouge, Aika's work can also be seen on Wedding Sparrow, The White Wren, PartySlate, Season Journals, and more.

Interview
IF I HAVE A FREE SUNDAY, I WOULD SPEND IT... at an art museum or at an arts theater (opera, ballet, etc). But most of the time, I spend my free Sundays doing artist walks around my neighbourhood with my film camera.
MY MOST MEMORABLE TRAVEL EXPERIENCE WAS... in my senior year of high school, when I traveled solo for the first time just to attend my husband’s (then boyfriend) senior prom. We were in a long distance relationship, where I lived in Japan and he lived in Washington state.
THE COUNTRY I MOST WANT TO VISIT IS... It’s been a lifelong dream of mine to travel to France, specifically Paris. The history and allure of its perfectly preserved old world charm fills my heart to the brim with excitement.
WHAT I LOVE MOST ABOUT MY JOB IS... I always say that when I take a picture, “I turn love stories into heirlooms.” Margaret Atwood once brilliantly said, “in the end, we’ll all become stories.” I aspire to take that a step further with my art and photography to turn photos into heirlooms that hold the love stories that are passed down for generations.
IF I DIDN'T DO THIS FOR A JOB, I WOULD BE... I would be a poet or short story writer.
IF I COULD LIVE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, IT WOULD BE... it would be either Japan or Paris
THE MOST MEMORABLE MEAL I'VE EVER EATEN... was in a small Italian-inspired restaurant when I lived in Japan. It was a plate of THE BEST carbonara I’ve ever had and the best fried rice I’ve ever had. I look to this memory as inspiration when I cook.
