One breath and hamstring cramp at a time...

Aloha, my name is Mike Ito (@mikeitophoto), a self-taught lifestyle/surf photographer and art director based in Oahu, Hawaii. A few years ago, I left my corporate job, a nitro-fueled work culture, to pursue my passion for family, surfing, punk rock and photography. My work has taken me to Australia, Hawaii, Indonesia, Mexico, and New Zealand.

I am a co-founder and Art Director/photographer for Lost Not Found Magazine (@lostnotfoundmagazine). A magazine about alternative surf craft, culture, and its people. I am seeking projects and adventures to collaborate with, get the stories, and get them to print!

You can find me at my email, "mike ito photo at gmail.com" or visit my print shop.
