Get to know Natalie.
Natalie Nishioka's journey as a fine-art landscape photographer showcases her unwavering dedication and remarkable growth. Beginning her path as a self-taught artist at just 18, she has spent over a decade exploring the stunning landscapes of Kaua'i and beyond. Her passion for photography sparked at the age of 11 during a memorable trip to Alaska with an old silver digital camera. As she upgraded her equipment, her artistry blossomed, driven by her deep love for capturing the beauty of the world around her.
Natalie's journey into photography began in high school, inspired by the creativity she found on Instagram. A pivotal photography class during her senior year equipped her with essential techniques and software skills, allowing her to express her artistic vision. In college, she discovered the Sony A7 camera, which elevated her photography and helped her explore various styles ultimately leading her to capture the raw beauty of nature and turn it into a art piece of how it made her feel in that very moment. After graduating in December 2019, the pandemic prompted her to reflect on her skills, and in 2023, she boldly decided to turn her passion into a profession as a full-time photographer.
