Four Seasons Wailea, Maui, HI - Spending a decade of your career in one of the most beautiful places in the world can result in of the most amazing photos. Hawaii has so much to capture, almost too much to capture in just one life time. Cameron Nelson's galleries of work from his time spent here are breathtaking - finding nature at its finest moments to let everyone enjoy.
Cameron himself has had an interesting career span that I found out after talking to him about his works. Cameron was first a wedding photographer in Southern California. He worked that angle, along with other portraiture photography for 7 years but could not handle the fast paced, hours of traffic that you get with thirty million people in such a confined area. Cameron decided to leave and headed to South Africa to shoot fashion photography while still being able to follow up on his passion of surfing that he had come to love in Southern California. Cameron eventually met his wife in South Africa and they made the move just over a decade ago to Hawaii to shoot the beautiful landscapes and nature creatures that are so prevalent there. He loved the more relaxed and calming peace that Hawaii can bring to a person and that definitely shows in his works that he displays in his mobile galleries throughout the islands.
The feeling of being more relaxed when shooting your work gives him the ability to create works of art that make you think: "oh that looks fake!" because it just doesn't seem real to be able to find these perfect locations for the subjects of the photos. Cameron does great work of ensuring the proper color of the locations he visits is perfectly represented in his printed images. Works such as his "Paradise Found _ Maui" have the perfect amount of clarity from front to back, keeping his highlights and shadows in check and the color as exactly as you would see. The work presented in this gallery were all from Hawaii and include a broad range of what is there on the island.
The compositions of his pieces of art also make for a desire to want more. You might already look through his galleries online and realize that you just cannot get enough. The is the pull Cameron has with his work - already able to capture the images we want and desiring more that we think Hawaii can offer to us. His quality of equipment and huge found knowledge of the art, has allowed him to truly find those special moments we think of when one envisions Hawaii.
I did have a tendency to get enveloped into Cameron’s work and that is why I enjoyed this gallery set up. It was laid out in a casual format at the hotel, very inviting and flows well to still have a professional feel for a Hawaiian photographer. I was impressed with his exposures and compositions, the foam water images on the beach however did not impress me. They were done technically correct but I found them basic, un-moving.
His mobile gallery set-ups can be found at the Four Seasons' Resort in Wailea on Saturdays from 8:00-1:30 and at the Gran Wailea Resort in Wailea on Wednesdays from 8:00-2:00.
