CJ Kale
Cj was raised on the Waianae Coast in Hawaii. CJ learned from an early age of his passion for nature by playing in the surf exploring the beauty of the Hawaiian Islands. CJ graduated from New York Institute of Photography, he then moved to the Big Island of Hawaii, where his passion for nature photography grew bigger than before. He was called the dare devil of photography in 2011 because when he was shooting the Kilauea Volcano he fell into a 20ft lava tube and shattered his ankle, and even this did not stop him or deter him from his passion of shooting nature photography.
CJ likes to capture the right moments of the waves breaking, or the clouds at the right time and in just the right spot he wants them for a making a great picture such as he does in the third image chosen. In the first picture chosen he waited for just the right time of the waves breaking into the shore of the California Beach, he took multiple images at different times in the day and season to capture the right picture he wanted to make his picture what he wanted it to be, The second image I love because the sky and clouds capture and contrast the coloring in the trees and mountains on the beach he chose to photograph.
I love what CJ chose to do with his passion for nature and how he captures a perfect moment in time showing the viewer what we would love to see if we could be there. In class we had discussed taking pictures at certain times in the day then going back to that same exact spot later or even earlier in the morning or night just as CJ chooses to do making the perfect picture to show his passion. I admire the fact that he chooses to be such a dare devil while exploring what he can and cant do with his camera and the different angles and clouds as well as scenery he captures at varying times of the day and seasons making just the right image.
