I’ve featured photos from my favorite hula show on Kuhio Beach, a number of times, over the years. And, as fun as these shows are, I really like to shoot candids from behind the scenes. As I walked around pre-show, I caught these young women practicing. They were behind the changing tent, out of view from the audience.
In the past years, I would diligently get there early to find the optimal place for photography. Those requirements are are usually more challenging than being a mere spectator. But this year, I was a lot more casual. I knew what to expect and I was content to find an out-of-the-way place. Instead, I walked around for candids until the very last-minute.
While I had my Olympus with me, I used the smaller and even less imposing Canon G7X Mark II, a compact camera. There is a notion of the optimal camera for the job. A smaller camera seemed less intrusive during their behind the scenes practicing.

Very colorful and vivid pictures.
Thank you, Sadje. The mostly white background really makes the dancers pop.
Yes, it’s right.
