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 classic portraits on playa Mansita at sunset:
The second one was people that I know for years for being residents of the area, Mauro being the editor of The Tamarindo News and the sushi master of the “Sushi Club”. I knew they’ll want more originals photos, but still OK to send to send to the family in Argentina… As they work the schedule was tight and I wanted an early morning shot in Tamarindo, well it doesn’t have to be too early, so they can show up… Anyway I decided a low tide moment in front of the Capitan Suizo, where the beach is almost empty of people with a few rocks and tide pool…
The similitude is obviously “The Children”… The most difficult specie on earth to capture, especially in 1 hour time, not knowing them and worst: them not knowing me on top of that, I have to face them with this big black thing in front of my friendly face and those tripod shooting flash in their little eyes…
I think having daughter, 2 and a half year ago, and having photographed her and her friend (only like thousands of times) help me a lot with children…
Here is another early morning shooting on a different beach (playa Conchal).
