LEIGHTON LUM

My name is Leighton Lum and I am a professional wildlife and landscape photographer from Honolulu Hawaii. 

I have always been fascinated with the ocean and all of its inhabitants, making underwater photography my favorite type of photography. 

I also love to travel, I run yearly photo workshops in various parts of the World, teaching photography. 

Photography has been my passion for many years and I hope my images inspire others to help protect this World so future generations can grow up to enjoy it!
