With filmmaker Taylor Steele & photographer Todd Glaser.

“Within a few hours of waking up we had seen rainbows, swam with Whale Sharks, and explored the beautiful lava fields all before we ate lunch,” recalls photographer Todd Glaser of the Kelly Collection shoot they’d done in Hawaii. Filmmaker Taylor Steele and Todd Glaser have shot Kelly more than anyone else on Earth, but somehow, this one was…special. 

“Going to Hawaii with Kelly and Taylor was so much fun. We’ve all spent a lot of time chasing waves and exploring different parts of the world together, but this trip was another memorable one. Within a few hours of waking up in Kona we had seen rainbows, swam with Whale Sharks and explored the beautiful lava fields all before we ate lunch.” —Todd Glaser

“Shooting this piece with Kelly was like old times. The vibes were awesome, as Todd Glaser and I have traveled working with Kelly more than anyone. Just a bunch of friends making stuff like we have for decades. Good things seem to happen when we’re all hanging.”  —Taylor Steele

“In between each spot, Kelly would show us little corners of the different reefs that break on certain swells and winds which got us excited to come back! It’s really special for us all to get to spend the time together and still feel the same stoke to share stories, re-connect and celebrate that feeling of wondering what’s around the next corner.” —Todd Glaser
