THE HAWAII EXPEDITION

Oct 3 - 6, 2025 | Hilo

The SHAMAYIM Hawaii Expedition presents an extraordinary opportunity to elevate your portfolio’s visual identity, set against the awe-inspiring landscapes and rich cultural heritage of Hilo, Hawaii.

Under the visionary direction of renowned fashion photographer Shamayim, with over two decades of expertise in fashion photography and advertising, this expedition transforms the breathtaking scenery of the Big Island into your personal artistic canvas. With the support of a world-class production team—including producers, casting directors, and location scouts—every detail is meticulously curated to create stunning, campaign-worthy visuals.

From the dramatic volcanic landscapes of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park to the lush, cascading beauty of Akaka Falls, the black sand beaches of Punalu’u, and the serene coastline of Hilo Bay, this expedition offers an unparalleled opportunity to infuse your work with the essence of Hawaii’s natural wonders. Whether capturing striking imagery along rugged lava fields, shooting designs against tropical rainforests, or creating unforgettable moments on the island’s pristine shores, your visuals will captivate global audiences and leave an enduring impact.

All proceeds from this expedition will contribute to the SHAMAYIM School of the Creative Arts Tuition Endowment Fund for 2026. This initiative is being developed to provide financial assistance to exceptionally talented creatives seeking access to world-class education in the arts.
