MIKE ITO
I had this photograph in my mind long before it existed. Shot at 1/20 of a second, the slower shutter speed lets the water blur into motion while Kaimana drives through the frame with purpose. In the distance sits Leʻahi (Diamond Head), watching over Waikīkī, the birthplace of surfing. It took patience, countless attempts, and Kaimana's willingness to work with me until everything aligned. This image is the result of a shared vision finally coming to life.

Mike Ito
Aloha, my name is Mike Ito, a self-taught litestyle and water photographer and art director based on O'ahu, Hawaii. My work explores the intersection of people, place, and alternative surf culture - focusing less on performance, and more on feeling, identity, and the quiet moments that define a life in and around the ocean. Through both photography and creative direction, I aim to document what often goes unnoticed: the in-between, the imperfections, and the subtle beauty that elevates surf imagery into fine art.
My photography has taken me to Australia, Hawaii, Indonesia, Mexico, and New Zealand, shaping a perspective grounded in movement, subculture, and connection.
I am the co-founder, Art Director, as well as photographer, of Lost Not Found Magazine (@lostnotfoundmagazine), an O'ahu-based publication dedicated to alternative surf craft, culture, and the people who live it.
Mike Ito select prints are available exclusively at Saylor's Haleiwa.
