Presented by: The Institute of Visual Arts Maui

We know the locations. We know the good light. We are working professional photographers.

We love to teach and We love to share.

Following the Photoshop Hawaii Seminar days (August 21, 22, 23), the Institute of Visual Arts-Maui will offer a new series of very personal Maui Photo Adventures. You choose the subject matter and the amount of time that you want to spend with one of our Master Photographer instructors to learn better ways to create, edit and print your photographs.

Your time to enjoy the wonders of Maui are limited and you are dreaming about all of the great photographs you will capture on the trip…but where do you go? When is the best light? What are the secret photo sites of the island? We have been in Hawaii learning locations and shooting everywhere for over 40 years.

“Let’s Get Personal”…Join Us on a Maui Photo Adventure!

What is the best way to experience Maui and Hawaii as a person that loves photography? Plan a Personalized Photo Adventure with us…customized to fit your schedule and your specific photographic interests and objectives.

In-Studio or On-Location Photo Adventures

Sessions requiring the photo studio environment, computers and printing lab will be held at the Institute of Visual Arts in nearby Kula, just a short drive up Highway 37 from Kahului.

This is YOUR Photo Adventure, so depending on your plans and preferences we can cover any part of Maui within the time reserved. From the Haleakalā volcano crater to a flower farm or a lush jungle valley to a hidden beach at sunset. There is no end to the spectacular locations with waterfalls, bamboo forests, beautiful panoramas, and breath-taking sunrises and sunsets. Aerial photography excursions are available, at an additional cost, if you want a higher point-of-view!
