With more than 1,000 different tribes, Papua New Guinea is, to put it mildly, a people photographer\u2019s paradise. \u00a0As if our time spent up-river visiting remote villages and on the Sepik river wasn\u2019t amazing enough, next we headed to the mountains, where Papua New Guinea\u2019s 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\u2019s 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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

We still have a few spots available on our September 7-22, 2017 Papua New Guinea trip. To sign up or to put yourself on the interest list,\u00a0click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
