With more than 1,000 different tribes, Papua New Guinea is, to put it mildly, a people photographer’s paradise. \u00a0As if our time spent up-river visiting remote villages and on the Sepik river wasn’t amazing enough, next we headed to the mountains, where Papua New Guinea’s largest Sing Sing festival is held. \u00a0The Mt. Hagen \u00a0Sing Sing originated in the mid-1900\u2019s, as a venue for tribes to peacefully compete and share their music, culture and traditions, rather than to fight traditional tribal wars.<\/p>\n

Today, Sing Sings like the one at Mt. Hagen continue to help keep Papua New Guinea’s rich traditions and rituals alive. These festivals also provide a \u00a0truly incredible photographic experience for visitors willing to make the long arduous journey to Papua New Guinea. This year’s Mt. Hagen sing sing gave us unprecedented up-close and personal opportunities \u00a0to photograph more than 80 different tribes as they prepared for and performed dances during the two-day, Mt. Hagen Sing Sing. \u00a0Information about the 2016 Papua New Guinea trip, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
