About David Croswell

David Croswell

Boldness and Drama. These are not words that are usually attributed to me, but those are some of the things I love most about photographing flowers. I can shape the light to highlight a particular part of a flower or to accentuate the forms of the flowers and leaves. I love highlighting the features of my subjects, whether it's the intricate waves of a peony's petals or the simple symmetry of a plumeria blossom.

At Croswell 808, our story began with a deep love for capturing the vivid beauty and spirit of God's creation.We are so blessed to live in such a beautiful place, brimming with vibrant flora and fauna and everything in between. What started as a family pastime—spontaneous walks through our neighborhood, late-afternoon dives, and sunset dinners—gradually blossomed into a creative journey rooted in faith, family, and discovery.

Every day, we draw inspiration from the gentle breeze as it glides over the water, the glow of lava beneath a starlit sky, and the rhythm of the birds sharing their joyful songs. With each photograph we take and each design we create, our purpose remains the same: to share a piece of that wonder and warmth with others.

From gallery-quality prints and timeless notecards to vibrant stickers and thoughtful gifts, our products reflect our love for nature and our desire to share the spirit of aloha through meaningful art.

Croswell 808 is a true family adventure. Together, my wife Mariko and I run our small, local business—often joined by our three children on walks, dives, and creative explorations around the island. This year, we’re especially proud to introduce a new collection from our children, who have added their own imaginative creations to the Croswell 808 offerings.

We’re so glad you’re here—mahalo for supporting our journey.
