Hanalei Bay has become a famous and iconic place on Kaua’i to photograph, surf, relax, and gather for locals and tourists. It reminds me of the days in high school during summer when I sat on the pier watching the boys make large bombs, flips, and dives off the dock. I watched local uncles cast their fishing lines out at the end of the pier. Paddled out on a paddle board through the port. Surf the friendly waves by the river mount. And floating timelessly in the turquoise sea and enchanted hanalei mountains, I am grateful to witness such a beautiful morning at Hanalei Bay.

Welcome to Nataliearth's website featuring landscape and nature photography. Natalie Nishioka is a talented local artist from the island of Kaua’i who is a self-taught photographer who captures extraordinary moments through her earth adventures.
All photographs are digitally signed or hand-signed. Natalie offers four types of art medium displays for her photography to be printed on; Photographic Prints, Metal Prints, Canvas Prints, and Acrylic Prints.
Natalie, prints and prepares her smaller size photographic prints (4”x6”- 11”x14”) and sources her larger photographic prints, metal prints, canvas prints, and acrylic prints from a California-based company. Our prints has the highest quality, durability, radiant colors, exceptional details, and superior longevity.

Traditional prints are printed on the highest quality photo papers. We have selected the best-fitted type of photo paper to display Natalie's Photographs. We selected multiple photo papers based on the size of the print.
We locally print our own 4" x 6" prints and we use Canon Glossy Photo Paper for its smooth, lustrous, and energetic colors to make our most petite prints scream loudly. We locally print our own 5” x 7”, 8” x 10”, & 11” x 14” and we use professional-quality luster inkjet paper for its dynamic color and pearl texture paper to bring out finer and deeper features of the photograph.
*Note: For those prints, we promptly only use genuine canon ink for their incredible stunning colors and we can guarantee the longevity of colors will last 10+ years, with the correct print care.
We outsource larger prints (12" x 18" - 50" x 70") from a California-based company, that specializes in providing the highest quality products. We select the print surface Kodak ENDURA Lustre “E” for its brilliant colors and its exquisite grain surface. In addition, they use archival inks to bring Natalie’s landscape and nature photography qualities richness and details even further.
Metal prints are uniquely durable with vibrant colors, brilliant luminescent images, and exceptional detail. Metal prints offer protection from odors, Biohazards, Pathogens, Contaminants, Bacteria, and Chemicals with their unique ability to be cleaned and disinfected.
MetalPrints™ represent a new art medium for preserving photos by infusing dyes directly into specially coated aluminum sheets. Because the image is infused into the surface and not on it, your images will take on an almost magical luminescence. The ultra-hard scratch-resistant surface is waterproof/weatherproof and can be cleaned easily – just avoid direct sunlight.
