Arto Saari’s (@artofoto) photography of Hawaii is gritty, beautiful, ground level, and alive with character. In TSJ 31.6’s “Nordic Blood. Tropic Heart,” author Ben Waldron (@quest_haven) tracks Saari’s path from Finnish skateboarding prodigy to rapt documenter of North Shore happenings. Hit the link in our bio to watch a short film about Arto’s process and to view his portfolio. Video by Prahlad Strickland (@prahlad_strickland) and Kevin Voegtlin (@voegs).
