The first Maui Photo Festival & Workshops will celebrate the beauty of Hawaii as captured by local photographers. If that includes you, here's how to get involved:
The opening reception for the four-day festival, slated for Sept. 16 to 20 at the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa, will include an multimedia show produced by MPF presenter and Canon Explorer of Light Eddie Tapp. Tapp is asking for images of Hawaii by Hawaii photographers, highlighting the diversity of our island home. The presentation will include images of island culture, scenery, environment and people - aerials to underwater, landscapes to action, wide-angle to macro - from the perspective of local residents.
The Maui Photo Festival & Workshops celebrates digital photography by bringing world-class photographers to one of the most photogenic places in the world. From novice to pro - attendees will learn from classroom sessions, location shoots, demonstration sessions and photo excursions led by pro photographers.
