The sunset hula shoot is my favorite during the Maui Photo Festival. I never tire of watching this graceful ancient artform through my viewfinder, and I rarely get a chance to capture it up close like this.
Our dancers, Kamie, La‘akea, Hoku, Tiasha, Lyssa and Olivia, worked very hard and did a fabulous job. There were a lot of cameras trained on them, as you’ll see at the end of the set, and they performed flawlessly.
Mahalo nui loa to Halau Na Lei Kaumaka o Uka and their kumu hula, Napua Makua and Kahulu Maluo, for letting us borrow these beautiful dancers for the evening.
