Daniella

Finally met a fellow photographer in my home town. Dani answered my desperate pleas for willing models and we spent a couple of hours in one of Barranquilla's oldest and prettiest neighborhoods. She also sweet-talked the owner of a gorgeous old house into letting us use it for the shoot. Go Dani! Hoping to meet more local photogs and collaborating with Dani again soon.

Cool bit of coding: now if you hover over the images a little button appears and you can pin them to your Pinterest!

Thursday I spent the entire afternoon documenting the process of mounting a fashion show for a former school mate of mine. The collection was fantastically colorful and upbeat, which makes sense as the brand is called Laetitia which means joy. It's perfect for the city, as Barranquilla is nothing if not colorful and upbeat, not to mention hot as hell, so summer dresses and rompers fit the bill. I was there to take photos of the staff and model hijinks. Never thought I'd see the day when models shoved over staff to get to the food. I didn't manage to get a photo of that though, must confess I was doing some shoving myself. All in all a beautiful and hilarious group of girls. I narrowed down the photos to my absolute favorites, but if anyone feels like checking out the 100 + photos (that I edited, there were 300ish), head over to my facebook fan page (cringe) to ogle at them.

Up next: two photoshoot this week if all goes well. All images © Nathalie Donado
