Clark Little Gallery

Return/​exchange policy states 7 days, which is garbage. I advise they should make that 2 weeks at least. So basically if you ordered online and received it 2 weeks later, that’s it you’re stuck with it.
p. s. They don’t mention to you that there was a special extended return/​exchange policy (Christmas to mid-​January). it was not posted anywhere or on the receipt. I found out a bit after that time frame. But had i known about the extended policy, I wouldn’t have felt stuck with what I got. Believe me, I would have gone back in a heart-​beat. But too bad, I got stuck with a slightly pixelated iphone 6 case.

First off, Clark Little is the undisputed BEST shore break photographers on this big beautiful blue planet of ours, that being said, after making the trek out to the North Shore to visit his gallery, I was a bit underwhelmed.

So, the gallery, the pictures there are very nice, obviously, but the gallery was small, had some mugs, shirts, hats, etc. But didn’t do the artist justice. Out of 1000s of pictures this talented photographer has taken, less than 50 are on display. Also, there is no way to access the library of pictures he has at his gallery, that’s a huge business opportunity missed. Additionally, the nice lady working at the store was very pleasant, however, definitely not someone who is equipped to explain the art that’s there or actually even interested in discussing the pieces to potential patrons. She was busy taking inventory instead of looking interested in true customers. I also called the gallery twice and got the voicemail, that should never happen during normal business hours.
Overall opinion: if you want to see Clark Little’s Photos, follow him on his Instagram page — you’ll be more impressed with his work. The gallery is unfortunately not living up to its potential.
Direct Business Advice for :
1. If you’ve hired your friends to help you run your gallery, you need to hold them accountable for results. Teach them the importance of making the customer realize the MUST STRONGLY consider buying your work.
2. Make your entire gallery available via iPads or a similar device customers can scroll through.
3. Also sell your prints via RAW or JPEGs at a price depending on size of image files. Your customer base would grow exponentially since anyone with Internet can purchase your prints but at a price range that reflects the size of the image file.
Mahalo!

Big fan of Clark Little’s shorebreak/​ocean photography. We stopped in to visit while we passed by the North Shore. Overall quaint, lovely, and charming gallery. Only thing, at 25 years old, it’ll be a while before I can purchase any of his prints.
Loved stopping in for a few minutes and seeing the large prints in the flesh. Thank you

Huge fan of Clark Little. Follow him on Instagram and Facebook. His photos and videos ALWAYS put a smile on my face. When we’re on the islands we try to visit his gallery (I usually pick up notecards… funny thing is I hardly use them because I love the photos so much).
Someday I will buy one of his prints on aluminum! Saw them in clusters at the gallery and just love the look. So crisp and clear. Maybe I’ll put it on my Christmas list!

I am a huge fan of Clark Little so I had to visit his new gallery in Haleiwa! The great thing about the gallery is he seems to rotate the pictures and art he displays.
Want to see two turtles giving a turtly hug? See it here! How about pick up a awesome shirt of a tiger shark grilling? Get it here! He work is so inspiring and artistic. I wish the gallery was much larger though — but you can check him out online and order from there as well!

I’ve been following clark little on instal ram for a long time. I finally made it to his gallery. Picked up an epic print. I’ll be back for more.

Clark Little is an amazing shore break photographer based out of the North Shore of Oahu. I’ve followed him for a while on IG, and by luck, won one of his hats in a contest. Since I was in Haleiwa, decided to try and save them on shipping and just pick up my hat (Hope I didn’t lose out of any stickers they may have included in the package).
Clark Little Gallery is located near Matsumoto’s Shave Ice. I haven’t been to Haleiwa for a while due to the traffic caused by the tons of tourists who pass through. The gallery is small but the pictures for sale speak for themselves. I’d buy them all if I had the $$. There are pictures everywhere and in all price ranges. There are some apparel as well (shirts, hats, socks), phone cases, calenders, stickers, etc. The nice young man working the front desk, Yuji (hope I spelled that right) was nice enough to make some calls to see if I could pick up my hat. Luckily, I was able to and he gave it to me. I was so excited I walked out without asking for a bag. I went back and he was nice enough to give me a cool black Clark Little bag. Again, I was stoked! I told him I had hoped to catch Clark Little in the gallery and Yuji said that he comes by randomly and unannounced. I said it would be awesome to have Clark Little sign my hat, so Yuji suggested I follow them on social media and they would post for signings. Good to know!
Overall, a great little space for an amazing photographer. Ma)(alo Clark Little for sharing your artwork. You’ve inspired me to pick up a camera, although I’m nowhere near as brave to go into the shore break :)
