About Nathan Yuen

I love to hike and kayak to the remote wild places of Hawai’i. Each weekend, you can find me climbing the mountains to visit unique native Hawaiian ecosystems.

While I enjoy taking landscape photos of these difficult-to-reach places, my favorite thing to do is to take close-up shots of diminutive things on the trail that are easily overlooked. I love to capture on film the incredible beauty of small plants, animals, and other interesting things I see at these magnificent places.

It is my intent for these photos to motivate you to visit these fascinating ecosystems and give you a reason to support the conservation efforts to protect these vanishing places for future generations.
