The story behind

This photograph shows the three peaks of Olomana in Hawaii, sharp, rugged, and covered in deep green forest. During a brief four-day stay, I hiked through this range and discovered a completely different face of Hawaii. Most people picture the islands as beaches, white sand, and gentle waves, yet the mountains hold a beauty just as striking.

The ridges rise steeply from the landscape, shaped by wind, rain, and volcanic history. Standing here, surrounded by endless layers of green, it’s easy to feel how wild and vast the islands truly are. This image captures that unexpected side of Hawaii, not the coastline, but the mountains - majestic, raw, and unforgettable.

Additional info

I use Hahnemühle fine art paper for most of my prints to ensure the highest possible quality. Hahnemühle is recognized as one of the world's top fine art paper brands, offering a wide range of textures and finishes. Depending on the photograph, I choose the specific paper type that best brings out the image's depth, tone, and character.

All prints are produced through a trusted and highly experienced fine art print shop in Japan. The lab has a strong background in creating museum-grade exhibition prints and works with professional EPSON large-format printers using premium archival pigment inks. This combination delivers exceptional detail, accurate color reproduction, and long-lasting durability.

Each print is crafted with care to meet fine art standards from start to finish.

We offer both borderless prints and prints with a white border, depending on your framing preference.

If you plan to use a frame without a mat, we recommend choosing the white-border version. The added space creates a clean, minimalist presentation that enhances the artwork, draws attention to finer details, and delivers a refined, gallery-quality look with a balanced visual composition.

If you are using a frame with a built-in mat, the borderless version is the better choice, allowing the artwork to pair naturally with the mat and maintain proper proportions.

Please note:

  • The prints do not come framed.
  • The white border is included within the total print dimensions. It does not add any extra size beyond the listed print measurements.

※ For any special requests or custom preferences, please feel free to contact us by email. We are happy to discuss adjustments to meet your needs.
