Hawaii Business magazine is ending its “Parting Shot” section from its print magazine, writes editor in chief Jennifer Ablan.
Ablan writes, “As we softly retire parting shot from the pages of Hawaii Business Magazine, we celebrate a feature that has long captured the essence of our community. For years, Parting Shot has spotlighted Hawaiʻi locals — leaders, business owners, artists, and new talent — each framed in a way that revealed more than a portrait.
“The star of Parting Shot was never just the person in the photo, but rather what they were doing and where they were. It was about action and atmosphere — the details in the background, the sense of place, and the moment unfolding. These elements together made each image dynamic, pulling readers into a story that stretched beyond the frame.
“Guiding this vision has been our incredible in-house photographer, Aaron Yoshino, whose artistry and instinct shaped the voice of Parting Shot. For this closing feature, Aaron selected a photograph that holds special meaning to him: a 2021 portrait of Pat Saiki, taken for our Sages Over 70 issue.”
