Engine Trouble

Most improvised shoot to date. The entire time was spent racing against the sunset but amazing little nooks were discovered and pretty photos were taken. Stylist was Luisa Pino. Models were Cristina Londono and Mauricio Meneses. Must apologize to my amazing crew for my subpar driving skills and the very real risk of contracting chikungunya on account of stepping into a swarm of mosquitos.

Family Session - Ordoñez Donado

Last month I spent a lovely afternoon with the most adorable family I know: Jesus, Juliana and their nearly two-year old twin girls Mariana and Cristina. My usual partner in crime/stylist Luiza Pino was on hand for art direction and styling. Big thanks to all of the extended family behind the scenes keeping the toddlers happy and smiling for the camera.

El mes pasado pase una tarde divina con la familia mas adorable que conozco: Jesús, July y sus mellas Cristina y Mariana. Luiza Pino de Nuevo estuvo acompañadme, dirigiendo escenas y sirviendo como estilista. Mil gracias a el resto de la familia tras bambalinas que tuvieron a las chiquillas entretenidas y divirtiéndose durante la sesión.

Piedras

Finally have some new photos to post! I've been computer-less for over a month and this set has been sitting on my hard drive for too long. Model is Andrea Navarro.

Grunge Tropical

After almost two months on hiatus, I'm shooting portraits again. Camilla was my first model when I started out and now that she's back from studying abroad we walked around my neighborhood half hour before sunset and I tried to get my photo mojo back. Rather pleased with the results of this mini shoot. Am trying to organize some more elaborate editorials and fingers crossed they will be happening soon.

New Again

After a very long hiatus I am forcing myself to post again. Starting a new job has sucked away all the free time I had for personal shoots and I haven't had anything to share for ages. Planning to end this dry spell on Monday and in the meantime here are some re-edits of one of my favourite shoots. Model is Lanty and Make-up was by Sarah Gray.

Orange Crush II

Part two of my shoot with model Kate Walter.

Orange Crush I

Warning: enormous post ahead. Spent Saturday afternoon at the beach (again) with the beautiful Kate Walter and her friend Caro who was an awesome assistant (thanks for holding that reflector!) The shoot is separated between "Sun is so harsh I need the reflector to create shade" and "Holy balls, golden hour". Kudos to the sweet guy who let us borrow his surf board for five minutes. Part two coming soon!
