“As a photographer I observe, listen and capture the spirit of the moment”

Jorge Veras lives, works & enjoys life in Honolulu, O’ahu, Hawaii.


Born in New York and raised in the Dominican Republic and New York City, i've been a professional photographer for more than 20 years. I studied photography and printmaking early on at La Guardia High School for Music and the Arts, in New York City. Then continued to earn my BFA in Photography and Printmaking at the Cooper Union for the Advancement of the Sciences and the Arts, in New York City.

I take a Fine Art approach to all of my photographic works.










Tao Te Ching - Lao Tzu - chapter 33


“Knowing others is wisdom,

knowing the self is enlightenment

Mastering others requires force,

mastering the self requires strength.


He who knows he has enough is rich.

Perseverance is a sign of will power.

He who stays where he is endures.

To die but not to perish is to be eternally present.”
