Assignement “Vita Bella” Restaurant, Tamarindo.

I’ve been contract to shot some classic: “show what’s in the plate” food photos for Vita Bella restaurant. This place is amazing for the spot  they got: the terrace is offering a wonderful view for sunset… Really that’s something to check out… [smugmug url=”http://costaricaphotovideo.smugmug.com/hack/feed.mg?Type=gallery&Data=9557706_ooCDp&format=rss200″ imagecount=”100″ start=”1″ num=”10″ thumbsize=”Th” link=”lightbox” captions=”false” sort=”false” window=”false” smugmug=”false” size=”L”] – […]

Shooting families on the beach…

Nothing wrong with that… I could (should?) have said photographing families on the beach… So last months I had two sessions booked to record those families memories, one interesting thing about those shooting was the differences: The first one  was a last minute contact from customers of the nearby Guanacaste JW Marriott, who wanted some […]

Where they live… (3)

I recently post on my Flickr account a new set of a work in progress, that is called “where they live.” The principle is really simple, it’s photography, it doesn’t need so much words. This one is “Where they live (sometimes) – Margueritte & Jacques – Retired – Cassis – France – 2009”. I wish […]

Photos Can Sell Your Home… or Sink It… So think about it…

…and I should say hire a pro for that, but it’s kind of obvious, so I won’t say it… Here is a great article about Real estate photography, sure it’s about the USA but it works for here (Costa Rica). If you’re selling in this market, whether you own a $100,000 starter house or a […]

Assignment: Tamarindo Airport and Las Baulas National Park.

Last week the Tamarindo News asked me to go shooting the Tamarindo airport to illustrate the cover story, after Mauricio Céspedes, CATURGUA Executive Director (Guanacaste’s Chamber of Tourism)  stated that Tamarindo airport was in danger of being closed by the Civil Aviation Authority. Article here. So I could have a quick shot (as the dead […]

Assignement: Presidential Summit Tuxtla XI JW Marriott Hacienda Pinilla.

Date: July 29, 2009. Customer: JW Marriott Guanacaste. I’ve been contacted on the Morning prior to the arrival of the presidents at the Hotel.

Real estate photos make online home listings stand out.

Here is a great article that explain one more time the importance of photography, and I’ll say professional photographs, to make a property stand out of the listing. “If a buyer is coming from out of town and they have two days to look at houses, which 10 do you think they’re going to ask […]

Where They Live… (2)

This is the house we lived for almost 5 years, I think there is a little nostalgia in it… “Where we live(d)… Mandy, Toh y Lucie Luna – Canafistula – Costa Rica – 2008” It is for me a different way to look at the places where people lives in a totally different way as […]
