DANE
HONOLULU, HAWAII
MIKE ITO
This photograph of my friend Dane was captured at 1/30 of a second, a shutter speed slow enough to blur the rushing water while preserving the elegance of his stance. From this perspective, the wave becomes a canvas of motion, while Dane remains calm and composed with his hands resting behind his back—a posture that speaks more to confidence than balance. There's an unmistakable nod to the style-driven era of 1970s longboarding, when grace and flow mattered as much as performance. This wasn't just a moment frozen in time; it was a reminder that true style is timeless.

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.
