Itinerary
- (3h)
This mystical expedition takes place on Anakena Beach, the cradle of Rapa Nui culture and one of the most beautiful bays in Polynesia. Its white coral sands and lush palm grove offer an idyllic backdrop for night photography. Each session is planned according to the exact astronomical position, taking advantage of this setting to achieve perfect compositions and striking silhouettes behind the majestic Moai statues of Ahu Nau Nau and Ahu Ature Huki. Safety and technical precision are paramount. We will use red lights, a professional standard that protects the eyes' adaptation to darkness and prevents light pollution in long-exposure shots. The experience includes a rest area with tables, ideal for relaxing to the sound of the waves and enjoying a nighttime snack of hot coffee, cookies, and juice. Let yourself be enveloped by the ancient energy of this bay as you photograph the true navel of the world.
