The Nā Pali Coast on Kauai, Hawaii, where the cliffs drop straight into the Pacific and the ridgelines run back into the island in a series of fluted green walls

Nā Pali Coast, Kauai, Hawaii

Jurassic Coast

The cliffs rose straight from the Pacific, so vast and jagged that my eyes could not take them in all at once.

From the boat, the Nā Pali Coast seemed to unspool endlessly along the island, plunging into the sea before folding inland into one impossibly green ridge after another. Early golden-hour light moved across the fluted walls, while heavy clouds gathered above and calm, seafoam-blue water stretched toward the horizon.

I made this as a 10-shot, 3:1 panorama because anything narrower felt like an interruption. I wanted the photograph to evoke the experience of standing on that boat and slowly turning your head, taking in one immense wall of Kauai after another. Weather, light, ocean, and cliffs converged in a scene that felt almost too expansive to contain within a single frame.

Limited Edition Print

Available as a limited edition fine art print, produced on demand in four finishes. Full sizing and materials are on the prints page.

Editions & certificates

Each image is released as a limited edition of 50 — that's 50 pieces total, across every size and every finish combined, not 50 of each. When an edition closes, that image is retired and never offered as a print again. A few signature images are released in smaller editions.

Outside that count, I keep one Artist's Proof of each image for myself. It's occasionally available by private request, at a premium.

Every piece is numbered and comes with a matching signed and numbered Certificate of Authenticity. Paper prints are signed by hand before they ship; the face-mounted pieces travel straight from the lab to you, so the certificate carries the signature rather than the panel.

As an edition sells down, the price steps up. The earliest pieces of an edition carry the lowest price.

Which finish should I choose?

Lumachrome Face-mounted to TruLife acrylic

The deepest, most luminous finish I offer. It's especially suited to backlit scenes, where the glow comes about as close to the real light as a print can get. Arrives ready to hang.

Best for: Deep color, dramatic light, anything you want to stop people in their tracks.

Chromaluxe Dye-sublimation on aluminum

The most durable finish, with color that reaches beyond what standard prints can show, so bright scenes, water, and big skies come off the panel. Arrives ready to hang.

Best for: Bright scenes, water, snow, big skies. Also the most durable option.

Supralume High-gloss canvas on aluminum composite

Canvas texture with the fine detail and deep blacks of a gloss print. Arrives ready to hang.

Best for: Texture and detail — rock, bark, forest, anything intricate.

Fine Art Paper Canson Infinity Rag Photographique, 310 gsm cotton

100% cotton rag, hand-signed, and shipped unframed for your own framer.

Best for: Quieter work, black and white, and anyone with a framer they trust.
