Hanalei Bay, Kauai

91 MEGAPIXEL VAST PHOTO
Kuhio Highway, Hanelei Bay, Kauai

If you have ever traveled to Hawaii, you know that there is no shortage of breathtaking scenery. Each island is vastly different from the others in terms of landscape, and general feel. They all have different precipitation levels, plant life, geology, and terrain, making them all distinct and unique. After this most recent trip however, I decided that Kauai is without a doubt my favorite of the islands.

My goal with this shot was to tell a unique story about the Island of Kauai and its predominant features; most notably, the dramatic and ever-changing weather patterns that make this island the wettest place on Earth.

I drove to this lookout spot at least 15 times during the course of my stay on the island, and every single time I stopped to capture the scene because it looked so radically different every time. On this particular occasion, the early-evening lighting was perfect. I managed to catch a 15-minute break between rainstorms, and the fast-moving clouds created the perfect texture for the sky that ultimately makes this image more interesting than if it was on a clear, blue-sky day.

What I was hoping to capture with this image was a sense of how lush, green, and wild this incredible island paradise is.

Our canvas material has a delightfully matte finish that looks spectacular in any lighting conditions while retaining maximum vibrancy and contrast. Click here to learn more.

Printed onto heavyweight, 100% acid-free fine art canvas to preserve color-accuracy and longevity
Created using materials and methods that exceed the rigorous technical standards required to achieve the prized "giclée" industry rating
Designed to meet the most demanding standards for color-permanence set by leading museums

VAST Print™

A VAST Print™ represents the pinnacle of the photographic medium. Each print is a true photograph created specifically for you using light-sensitive paper exposed in a darkroom with the industry's highest precision exposure technique. Your print is then sealed with a shine-enhancing protective glossy coating*, adhered to a sturdy aluminum composite backing, and finished in one of two ready-to-hang formats:

  • Frameless floating display: A hidden mounting brace on the rear gracefully "floats" the print off the wall for a sleek, modern look.
  • Framed display: The print is mounted inside one of our handcrafted 100% wood frames with a decorative separation between the print and the frame so that the print appears to be floating within the frame, providing depth and elegance to the finished photo.

*Note: a non-glossy, satin matte coating is alternatively available on request.
