Elegant Evenings at Kukui'ula | Poipu | Kauai | Hawaii by Ethan Tweedie

Simple, elegance.  That’s what I deliver.  No gimmicks, tricks or the latest toys.  It’s just me, my camera and some lighting.  There is no substitute for just spending time shooting the property... understanding the space, knowing the right time of day with the right light at the right angle to shoot.

Before and After Slider Saturdays - Howard Hughes ‘A’ali’i Residential Tower at Ward Center by Ethan Tweedie

Before and After Slider Saturdays - Howard Hughes ‘A’ali’i Residential Tower at Ward Center

This project for designer Rottet Studio and Howard Hughes posed some very interesting challenges. The location of the model Home Condominiums are located in the old IBM Building designed by Vladimir Ossipoff. On the exterior of the building is a concrete cladding (photo) and the views out the windows will not be the actual future views from the ‘A’ali’i Residential Tower at Ward Center located adjacent to the IBM Building. I had to do a few things to complete the image, first my normal editing and retouching process for the interior, then I had to secure view shots from Howard Hughes they had already captured to show future buyers what the actual views would look like. The views out the window will now show what a potential buyer will actually see.

Hoku'ula | Waimea | Hawaii Virtual Tour by Ethan Tweedie

Today’s COVID-19 virtual tour subject is Pu’u Hoku’ula. The literal meaning of Hoku'ula is Red Star in the Hawaiian language. It is the dominant Pu'u or hill in Waimea. It is sometimes referred to as Buster Brown and Knob Hill. I hope you enjoy your tour of my favorite Pu'u in my little town of Waimea!

Wash your hands, don’t touch your face and stay safe!!

Aloha,

Ethan

Howard Hughes ‘A’ali’i Residential Tower at Ward Center | Rottet Studio by Ethan Tweedie

Here are some images from my recent photo shoot for Rottet Studio and Howard Hughes at Ward Center in Honolulu. The purpose of the photoshoot was to photograph the showroom which was built for pre-sales of the units in ‘A’ali‘i and showcase Rottet Studio’s design elements.

‘A‘ali‘i stands as a center-point of Ward Village, a community that’s redefining Hawaii’s modern lifestyle. Architectural Digest recently named Ward Village the best master planned community in the U.S. because of its attention to art, architecture and building community. Here, you can spend less time in traffic and more time doing what you love in a centrally located, pedestrian-friendly neighborhood within walking distance of Downtown Honolulu, Oahu’s best shopping, and Ala Moana Beach Park.

Four Seasons Hualalai Golf Hale by Ethan Tweedie

The Golf Hale is a brand new state of the art amenity at the Four Seasons Hualalai that will be used for golf training/coaching, using the latest technology like TrackMan 4 Flight simulation, video analysis and assessment of biomechanics using TPI golf fitness performance.  If you are not a budding golf pro there is also a TopGolf Swing Suite Experience and if golf is not your preference you can try zombie dodge ball, soccer, football and baseball games.

The space indoors and outdoors can be used for group events with a large lanai with big screen TVs, indoor bar and snacks. 

The brand new Golf Hale was photographed in January 2020 the week after most of the construction was completed and was designed by GT Design, Inc. and built by GM Construction, Inc. Photography by Ethan Tweedie Photography
