I never had an end-game when it came to my photography, espeically when it came to film photography. It is a passion–art for the sake of art–and that is exactly what you have in your hands.
I made this for myself. Bits of my soul are scattered across these pages and thoughts scribbled onto images because it just made sense in the moment–moments of my life forever burned into film.
Massive thank you to everyone who stepped in front of my lens, to the beautiful Hawaiian landscape that is art itself, and to the community in Hawaii that pushed me to both create and believe in myself as an artist.
Riley Westgaard is a photographer and Creative Director with no set home (most of the time). She lived in Hawaii for a year and a half starting in 2020, during this time all these images were taken.
