If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, local photographer Kohta Rincon is surrounded by it. The world looks lovely from behind her lens. You’ve seen it here in these pages—horses and riders, stunning models and a big-hearted football star. Kohta’s unique style matches her personality: warm, vibrant and compelling. Her artistic portraits tell a story, skillfully capturing a two-dimensional image of a three-dimensional moment.
“I see myself as an art-focused photographer,” Kohta shares. “I break pretty much every posing rule in the book till I see what looks best.”
Photography comes naturally to Kohta, a self-taught artist motivated by the challenge of capturing genuine expressions in images that evoke emotion.
“I’m just motivated to get some good pictures,” she shrugs.
Kohta’s good pictures start with her warmth. She has a way of connecting with people and bringing out their best in a photograph. Each session is preempted with a discovery call, scheduled well before picture day, so she and her clients are on the same page when the camera comes out.
“Even if we’ve just met, by the time we're shooting, we're friends,” she says. “That comfort level comes quickly and opens the opportunity to capture an authentic moment.”
Kohta’s photography business, Kohta Rincon Photography, was born of a relationship with a horse. A farmer on the east side of Cincinnati, she has enjoyed horses since her childhood. The speckled coat and tolerant spirit of Jazz, her Arabian rescue, led Kohta to put a unicorn horn on her head and do fantasy photo sessions with kids in princess wear.
“It’s an unlikely story to have your horse ownership turn you into a photographer,” she laughs. “It was like Jazz was pushing me into the business.”
Brand and Business, Beauty and Boudoir, Equestrian and Seniors—Kohta is a master at putting people at ease, getting the best angle and capturing connections between people and their loved ones (especially four-legged family members).
