REFLECTING PARADISE
REFLECTING PARADISE
Oahu, Hawaii
REFLECTING PARADISE captures a serene and idyllic scene that seems to exist outside of time. The still waters, reflecting the island and palm trees, create a sense of symmetry and balance, inviting viewers to slow down and take in the beauty around them. The Ko'olau Range in the background, with the soft light of the sunrise illuminating their peaks, is a majestic reminder of nature's grandeur and the infinite possibilities that exist beyond our everyday lives.
This photograph, from Ho'omaluhia Botanical Garden in Oahu, Hawaii, encapsulates the sense of peace and tranquility that can be found in nature, even in the midst of a bustling city. It's a reminder to take a step back from the noise of our daily lives, appreciate the beauty that surrounds us, and find serenity in the present moment. It's a call to explore and discover the beauty that lies in simplicity and peacefulness.”

It starts with a feeling
Emotion is the keystone of art. It breathes life, depth, and meaning into an image and is the foundation of our relationship with a piece. Our connection with each artwork is rooted in how it makes us feel. It's a powerful experience to bring art into our homes - we are essentially installing a door to the emotions we want to feel. A pathway we can access anytime we choose. The depth of emotion found in these photographs stems from a place of true artistry. Scott leans into his own emotions as he shoots - taking time to connect deeply with the moment, subject, and himself. This enables him to curate the resonance of the photographs, focusing on beauty, stillness, and spaciousness.
Designed to evoke stillness and spaciousness
Throughout human history, people have voyaged far and wide in search of peace and understanding of the world. In new lands, they were met with visions that filled their hearts and minds – towering mountains, soft waves, spiraling branches, and expanses of dark sky blazing with stars. And though many of us have not embarked on extended spiritual pilgrimages, we have all experienced the expansion of our minds and hearts as we witness a breathtaking view. Embracing the power of beauty and the landscape on our mood, these photographs are designed to evoke peace and stillness - and provide the space to embrace the full breadth of our emotions.
Science tells us about the power of beauty
Studies show that focusing on beauty and serenity in nature creates lasting positive effects – increasing happiness, positive social interactions, and a sense of meaning and purpose in life. In one study, 95% of those interviewed said their mood improved after spending time outside – noting a decrease in depression, stress, and anxiety. Time in nature has also proven to increase our ability to pay attention and live in the present moment. Nature is vital to our well-being, but not all of us have a beautiful setting outside our windows. That’s why we need art.
Bring nature into your home
Scientists have confirmed that viewing scenes of nature in art can positively impact your health and well-being almost as effectively as visiting a beautiful environment. Art allows us to enjoy our morning coffee at a temple in Kyoto and cuddle up with our pets by the stunning coast of Maui. To spend our days in the bustle of the city and return home to the tranquility of a breathtaking view. Fine art photography is more than an image - it is your calm in the chaos, an uplifting breath on a troubling day, and the stillness to embrace your most authentic emotions and nurture your best self.
