Caribbean Dream

New year, new shoot! And the first of many I hope. This was a collaboration with two amazing brands, my loyal stylist Luiza Pinor and the lovely Leslie. Swimwear is by Ancora, clothes and accessories are by Laetitia. Big thanks to the lovely people who let us take photos of their restaurants and stores. Also shout-out to Ella Ruth Cowperthwaite for helping out with a Photoshop conundrum.

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.

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.

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!
