Sean Michael Hower is a Maui-based professional photographer, videographer and FAA-certified drone pilot with more than 20 years of experience creating imagery for people, businesses and destinations throughout Hawaii and around the world.

His work spans weddings, families, proposals, corporate and incentive events, commercial campaigns, resorts, real estate, editorial assignments, products and destination photography, with professional video and aerial drone coverage available for many projects.

Sean first picked up a camera at age seven after becoming fascinated by the photography he saw in TIME-LIFE and National Geographic. His early experience in front of the camera as a child actor and model eventually led him behind it, where photography became his lifelong focus.

He earned his degree in Fine Arts in 1996, graduating Magna Cum Laude with an emphasis in photography and cinematography, and completed part of his studies in Paris through the University of South Florida.

Over the course of his career, Sean has photographed assignments in more than 25 countries. His approach combines photojournalistic storytelling, thoughtful composition and a relaxed presence, allowing genuine moments to unfold without making people feel overly posed or directed.

Based on Maui, Sean works throughout the Hawaiian Islands and is available for destination assignments worldwide. Whether photographing a family on the beach, documenting a wedding, creating a commercial campaign or filming a corporate event, his goal is the same: create strong, natural imagery that tells the story of the people, place and experience.
