The Elements of Tropical Mosdernism: Bold, vibrant colors and a focus on form define the Kaua'i Collection. Shot on the "Garden Isle" of Kaua'i, this collection marks Jason Lawrence Olive's return to the islands he once called home.
The Kaua'i collection expresses the essence of the island's mythical stature in Hawaiian history. Known for both its fierce warriors and its native people's cultivation of native flora and fauna, Kaua'i remains one of the most untouched of the island chain. The collection's focus on minimalism, through color blocking, and abstract expersionism, through macro photography, relies on images captured 100% in-camera, with no post manipulation. In this collection a single petal might reference an epic sunrise or new begining. The throat of a flower may conjure the mystery of life-force itself. These kind of use of color and metaphor are the defining elements of a school of photography coined by Jason Lawrence Olive, called Tropical Modernism.
The Kaua'i Collection is printed on an array of fully archival, custom, fine art papers. Each paper is chosen specifically to bring out the full expression of the image.
