As a photographer, Johann Meya’s objective is to capture images that tell a story. It is important for him to share with the audience the unfiltered story of a person, the experience of nature, or the excitement of athletes competing.
At Molokai 2 Oahu Johann found the ability to showcase all three against the dramatic backdrop of the ka’iwi channel. Through the different emotions and movements captured in his photographs, Johann strives to share the fine points in life that are often missed.
Born in Germany, Johann spent much of his childhood living between Maui, Oahu, Florida, Japan and Germany. He considers Maui home and uses his lifelong passion of photography to express his appreciation for the islands. Through photography, he celebrates his Ohana, the Aloha spirit of Hawaii in all its splendor.
