Editorial, commercial and documentary photography of Hawaii's landscapes, wildlife and underwater world, from the summit of Mauna Kea to the open Pacific.
Subjects in the current portfolio include whale shark encounters, humpback whales from the air, lava ocean entries, volcanic lightning, Mauna Kea sunrise, rainforest waterfalls, a solar eclipse, coastal aerials and extreme macro of Hawaiian insects and marine life.
The same RED, Nauticam, Shotover and DJI systems used for broadcast cinematography produce stills at 8K resolution, and two decades of fieldwork mean rare subjects — newly discovered insects, birds on the brink of extinction, tiger sharks at a whale carcass — are already in the archive.
Licensing is available from the existing library, and assignment work can be scheduled on any island. If it exists in Hawaii, we can photograph it.
