Landscape photography centers around careful composition and capturing the light, moment and even vibe of a singular moment. It takes a keen eye and a little bit of luck to be in the right place at the right time to take the perfect photo. My approach centers around careful composition, capturing the natural colors and waiting for that perfect moment to capture.
These photos are among my favorites. Yes, there are many of them, but keep in ming that it's only a tiny portion of the photos I've taken and I wanted to share a diverse array of photos. I've been fortunate to have travel the world and taken photos of all kinds, Hawaiian landscapes, beachscapes, seascapes, desertscapes, rockscapes, naturescapes - all of the scapes!
In this collection you'll see a mix of photos from different collections, including:
- Hawaiian landscapes - Beautiful beaches, volcanic activity, stunning ocean views, natural cliffs and mountains with the flora and and fauna.
- Desertscapes - With rock formations like Horseshoe Canyon and Slot Canyons
- Japan - Torii gates, bamboo forests and rich history with picturesque nature around every corner.
While all of my photos are singular, some are more irreplaceable than others. The Lahaina fire on Maui, Hawaii, erupted on August 8, 2023, from an earlier blaze caused by downed power lines. Driven by strong winds, it became the deadliest U.S. wildfire in over a century, claiming at least 102 lives and destroying thousands of buildings. The historic town of Lahaina, a major tourist destination and where my gallery was located, was devastated. The photographs I have of Lahaina are extremely meaningful to me. It wasn't just my place of business it was my home.
