About Howard Wolff

Trained as an architect, my career as a consultant to international design firms has taken me to destinations around the globe from my home base in Hawai‘i.

Whether in downtown Honolulu or a Bhutanese village, on a playground or a construction site, I seek to capture the essence of the human spirit in a particular place, at a particular moment in time.

It is especially gratifying to use my photography skills to tell the stories of nonprofits doing good work. It’s an honor for me to create images that help advance missions with purpose.

If you like anything you see here — enough to want to use an image, frame a limited-edition print, host an exhibition, book me for a presentation, or engage me for an assignment — let’s talk.
