Maui Photo Festival and Workshops
May 22, 2010 -- It is the iconic Hawaiian image: A hula dancer on the
beach at sunset. Yet for the average photographer in Hawaii, the chance
of capturing such a scene has always been remote -- until now.
The second Maui Photo Festival and Workshops (MPF), set for August
25-29, 2010 at the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa, celebrates the
exploding popularity of digital photography by bringing more than 20 of
the top photo workshops trainers to one of the world's most photogenic
locations: Maui.
The signature MPF session, "The Quintessential Hawaiian Photo Shoot"
Hula on the Beach at Sunset? led by Maui photographer Randy Jay Braun,
offers the chance to photograph native Hawaiian dancers adorned in
traditional hula style. It is just one of the 'once-in-a-lifetime'
opportunities available for MPF attendees.
Seminar content covers the spectrum -- digital novice to pro -- through
classroom sessions, demo and hands-on opportunities and location shoots.
Special focus on available and studio light, portraiture and the
business of photography. A beach wedding location shoot is planned.
Days start early with golden-hour excursions. Next are classroom
sessions, often starting indoors, later shifting outside to take
advantage of our lush Hawaiian setting. Evenings, in our outdoor,
big-screen theater on Kaanapali Beach, offer the portfolios of our
presenting pros as well as a glimpse of images shot that day and entered
into competition.
Optional excursions (for a separate fee) include doors-off helicopter or
underwater shoots, sunset sail and Haleakala Crater sunrise. Space is
limited and available only to registered MPF attendees.
The festival wraps in a morning ceremony, awarding prizes for the best
landscape, portrait, aerial, hula, studio, ISLANDS Magazine cover and
more.
The $595 fee includes opening reception, three full session days, and
awards ceremony. Presenter, class and registration information at
www.mauiphotofestival.com. Educational rate of $395 available for
students and teachers with identification. Special room rates available.
Sponsored in part by the Hawaii Tourism Authority and the County of
Maui.
