Large Photo Prints That Capture the Hawaiian Island’s Grandeur
The feeling of awe, the scale of beauty, and experiencing that seemingly perfect moment - you know exactly what I'm talking about if you've visited the blissful paradise of the Hawaiian Islands. If you’ve seen them in person or on TV, you’ve likely witnessed the incredible show of nature that exists in a place I’m proud to call home and share with others. Many want to capture those awe-inspired feelings or experiences Hawaii can elicit with extra large Hawaiian wall art, like my panoramas.
These are some of my favorites for you to enjoy and a little backstory for each and why their grand scale can be so striking. These are all available as extra-large fine art prints for order in any medium and almost any size (up to 10 feet).
Landscapes That Are Larger Than Life
Extra large prints are a dramatic and breathtaking way to decorate your home or office. Landscapes are almost larger than life! The lush, tropical landscape and diverse seascape of Hawaii offer endless opportunities to be wowed.
This might be my favorite of all time, taken off of the Na Pali coast. With so many different elements, the clouds, green mountains, blue ocean, and even a rainbow, it's a perfect example of why large wall art can be so impactful.
Some of my most popular extra large prints are panoramic prints (https://www.andrewshoemaker.co...
The Na Pali Coast on the island of Kauai is just an awesome sight! I had the pleasure of photographing this from a boat and was very blessed to have a rainbow here in the scene as well. One of my personal favorite scenes right here on planet earth

The rich color palette of Hawaii allows for pictures that feel truly epic. Zoomed out and at scale, pictures like that of Kalalau Valley barely do the landscape justice but I can't help but try.
Kalalau Valley on the island of Kauai is one of the most special places on Earth to me. Just absolutely breathtaking and if you could imagine what heaven must look like, well I think it'd look like this

A World in Motion
There’s nothing quite as compelling as an element in motion captured in time. Waterfalls are one of my most favorite subjects to take pictures of because they blend that motion with the stillness and tranquility of the nature surrounding it. As a large print, this sense of motion is even more dramatic yet calming with the water and earth tones.
This is one of my favorite waterfalls in the world and the base of this one always catches my eye. It just seems so perfectly put together that I couldn't resist a panorama of it here. Captured with a medium format camera for ultimate quality and detail

With a large nature photography print, you can almost be in the scene. You can feel the spray from Cascade Falls, hear the thunder of water falling, and see rainbows appear in rays of sunshine. This is a great option if you want to bring in a piece of Hawaii home that isn't dominated by greens and blues.
Ocean prints are even more dynamic, capturing the beauty and power of ocean waves in a single curl. Referred to in the surfing community as a "barrel" with a gap between the wave and the curl of water cresting forward almost creating a tube, aka tubular wave (dude!).
One of the most beautiful barrels that I've seen at Jaws. The blue emerald colors with the power and intensity of this wave make it one for the ages

Large prints give a sense of scale that can't be captured with prints below 36 inches. They give you a sense of place and are slightly humbling. Animals in panoramic large prints also help show this, capturing a speck of life in the vast expanse of Hawaii.
A lone Honu (Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle) I came across in the middle of crystal clear turquoise Maui waters. So peaceful to observe as they glide so gracefully through the water.
How Big is Too Big?
Large scale art prints are not for everyone, or for every room. Before purchasing, make sure large photo prints won’t overwhelm your space. In general, wall art should take up 60%- 75% of the available wall space, which is wall space that isn’t covered by furniture or moldings. When hanging wall art over furniture or a room feature, it should be between two-thirds and three-fourths of the width of the object.
Let's say you had wall space from your big couch to the vaulted ceiling of 120 inches by 80 inches. You could safely get a print between 72 - 90 inches and 48 - 60 inches and fall within the 60% - 75% range. As always, this is a question of taste, so you can always get it as big as you want.
Gallery-Quality Extra Large Prints
Extra large prints can be an investment. But before you order a few large photo prints for your walls, remember that these prints need to be the highest-quality images with the best printing methods to look their best.
To ensure my photos display the beauty of every moment, I offer my images with gallery-quality materials and mounting options.
· An acrylic face mount gives each print outstanding depth and contrast. When you combine a metallic photo print with the acrylic, the crystals in the paper illuminate when any light is present making the art seem like it is lit from behind. This method is the most archival and accepted by museums and galleries worldwide.
· TruLife Acrylic Face Mounts are my favorite overall method to display the art. These museum grade archival prints have a striking 3D appearance and TruLife acrylic virtually eliminates reflections allowing the art to come to life without the reflections. These all have an archival rating over 100 years so the print will be enjoyed for generations.
· Metal prints are extremely lightweight and resistant to the elements. Hang an extra large print in your outdoor space, basement, or bathroom without worrying that your print will warp or fade. Water themes are very popular in bathrooms!
Remember that when mounted prints are made extra large they can be quite heavy, so ensure you have a structurally sound spot to install them.

One of the most magnificent trees in the world calls Maui its home. I spent all morning photographing this banyan tree waiting for the sun to get to just the right spot and at the right angle in order to capture a sun star and complete the scene. Truly a special moment was captured.

Millions of years of water erosion has created a magnificent masterpiece in Antelope Canyon. It's so hard to believe that nature created this beautiful symphony of elements.
