MUA/Hair: Nathalie Kim/Salon Cookie Couture .. thanks for making Ana amazingly gorgeous

Alegria’s opening night

On October 17, 2010, in Events, People, by Joem Costes

Cirque Du Soleil – Alegria’s opening night. The part with leis is not actually part of the main show. Because it is the opening night, a special traditional Hawaiian celebration was created to meet and greet the cast of the Cirque.

Cirque Du Soleil (Alegria)

On October 14, 2010, in Events, People, by Joem Costes

Cirque Du Soleil – Alegria (Behind the Scenes/Rehearsal)

This very dark venue made it extremely difficult to shoot. No flash allowed. I had to put my thinking cap for these shots. I was very fortunate to have been given the access and ability to do this. I am very thankful.
