One of Hawaiʻi’s most respected photographers, Franco Salmoiraghi’s work is reflective of his affection for Hawaiʻi and of his powerful connection to the islands and its people. Born in Illinois, he moved to Honolulu in 1968 for a teaching position at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. His photographs that span the decades 1970s to 1990s celebrate the importance of Hawaiʻi as a place of sublime beauty and cultural significance. The exhibition features works in five subject areas—intimate portraits, awe-inspiring island landscapes, sensitive nude studies, detailed patterns in nature, and expressions of the energy and activism of the second Hawaiian Cultural Renaissance.
