Following their two sold out coffee-table books MOTEL | HOTEL and VIRGIN ISLAND, Todd Sanfield and photographer, Kevin McDermott trekked through this paradise to create their new book, KAPU. It is a collection of breathtaking nudes in this lush setting. Hiking on secluded jungle trails of Kauai, through spectacular foliage and wondrous lava stone waterfalls, Kevin captures Todd in gorgeous color and stunning black and white photographs. To juxtapose this lush landscape, Todd and Kevin traveled to Maui and bring life to the barren, seemingly lifelessness of a dormant volcano.
