Bruce Omori is an international award-winning photographer based in Hilo, Hawaiʻi, and his passion for the craft developed long ago. As a kid, it began as a fascination with the magical ability of film to capture a moment of time, and being able to hold it in your hand.
That fascination is still very much alive, as Bruce strives to infuse elements of the moment into each frame such as emotion, energy, and beauty, with the creative use of light and movement. His easy-going, unassuming personality and fondness for the ʻāina are also reflected in his work. From fiery images of Kīlauea’s eruptive activity, to photos of native Hawaiian honeycreepers deep in the rainforest, he captures an integral part of life in Hawaiʻi from a local perspective.
After spending 24 years with an engineering firm on Oʻahu, Bruce kissed life in corporate America goodbye and moved back to his hometown of Hilo with his family to pursue this passion, and continues to artistically interpret his view of our beautiful island home through the lens.
