Fine art photographer Daniel Sullivan was featured on HPR last summer following his shark encounter while out in the ocean, taking pictures of whales with his son Tristan.
The Maui photographer was forced to shutter his Pā'ia gallery in 2021 during the pandemic. But he captured the Valley Isle in a rare state of natural replenishment, taking over 100,000 images, which he's edited into a 5-lb, 204-page hardcover (including pictures of kohala and the kayak that received the brunt of the shark attack).
