IS THIS LOVE

IS THIS LOVE

from $1,100.00

Maui, Hawaii

This photograph captures a moment of stillness and motion, a juxtaposition of the unchanging rock and the ever-moving wave. The rock, shaped like a shark fin, stands as a reminder of the enduring nature of the earth and its power, while the 2-second exposure of the wave renders it as a blur of blue and white, a representation of the fluidity and constant change of life. The warm hues of the clouds, illuminated by the setting sun, remind us of the fleeting beauty of each moment and the importance of being present to fully experience it. The scene invites us to contemplate the balance of stillness and motion, of the unchanging and the ever-changing, and the unity of all things in the natural world. It is a call to find peace in the present moment and to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us.

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.
