Sean is a professional photographer who runs his own wedding photography and videography business. He currently lives and works on the island of Maui, Hawaii where he has clearly devoted his attention and skills towards the art of photography.
He picked up a camera at the age of seven, inspired by talent he saw in Time Life & National Geographic Magazines. He literally started his career behind the camera as a child actor & model where a seed was planted, and from there, his passion grew.
Sean later achieved his B.A. in Fine Arts in 1996, Magna Cum Laude, with an emphasis in photography and cinematography. He finalized the last stages of his degree in Paris via University of South Florida.


He has worked as an independent, dedicated photographer for over 20 years. His forte is people, product and publicity photography. He has photographed and worked abroad in 25+ plus countries where he has an eye for the surreal and visually rich moments; telling a story with his camera vs. a written dialogue. Sean’s photos represent something fleeting and intangible, yet his photo-journalistic style is modern and distinctive with a timeless, classical edge.
His photographs have appeared in numerous publications and exhibitions. He specializes in weddings, family portraits, social events, and various celebrations. He is known to be very easy to work with and watches the day un-fold by capturing the most important moments without being invasive. He seems inspired to tell people's stories through his imagery. He truly loves what he does, and this separates him from the rest. Sean Michael Hower is a real person, documenting real people.
