Project Description

This image was shot in Polynesian cultural Center in Hawaii.The Polynesian Cultural Center Alii Luau is located on the North Shore in the small town of Laie. Of all Hawaiian luaus is without a doubt the most authentic luau in all of Hawaii. This Oahu luau won the highly regarded Kahili award for preserving Hawaiian culture.

The Ali’i Luau is a “royal feast” that has been awarded the “Kahili Award” for being the most authentic Hawaiian Luau. The Luau featured live music and traditional Hawaiian song and dance. A “royal” Hawaiian Court was presented to add to the feel of being in a royal feast. This is arguably the most authentic luau in Hawaii…The Ali’i luau includes a pig ceremony where a large pua’a (Hawaiian for pig) is cooked in the imu and presented each day at the luau.

I used the dinning table as tripod and shot with a 16 mm wide angle lens with high ISO settings.
