Vertical Fine Art Photography

Vertically oriented artwork is one of my favorite styles. Composing vertical photographs can be challenging in many cases, but when a specific wall in a home, office, or business requires a vertical piece, I feel they complement the space so well.

This collection features sunsets, waves, waterfalls, starry night skies, beautiful trees, mountains, and lava photographs from spectacular locations across the Hawaiian islands. Many images were captured from private helicopters, offering aerial views over some of the biggest waves in the world, Hawaii’s extraordinary topography, and the world’s largest volcano! Please enjoy this gallery of vertical photography from the islands of Hawaii.

ALOHA KAKAHIAKA

KAUAʻI, HAWAIʻI

Hawaiian weather patterns are often dictated by the makani or wind. Some of our clearest days occur when the winds are calm, revealing the towering summits of the majestic mountains and the vibrant colors and depths of the ocean. Soaring above the north shore of Kauaʻi, I marveled at the peaks of Makua and the vivid coral reefs of Hāʻena on this pristine morning.
