I shot this image during a stretch of 37 minutes or so, while we navigated this very massive property, Xcaret Mexico. Its an Eco theme park and this structure is actually a traditional graveyard, a mexican special site to see for sure. This place is massive, so really 2/3rds of that time for the session is done walking, so everything here was go and go and go, no time for practice. Just play hard and be confident. Check out the slideshow of my fav's to see how technial this wedding was. Seriously, this one kicked OUR asses. I shot with a team of 4 photographers, each contributing a PRICELESS set of images to me. Thank you to Rodrigo Sanders. Juan Jose, and Sr Vincent Guihard, one of my best friends and an amazing photo artist. Each of these guys helped me make this a super dynamic folio. Slideshow HERE.
Graveyard at Xcaret: Here is a night view on the tripod... uh mazing.
Here is a cross section view.
Here are a few details...
Nothing above with any flashflavor value.
But this one has a little special sauce on the side, or in the background :)
Here is one of my flashflavor moments, among others I liked that day. 5d Mark2, 50L 2.5 at 1/60th. I dont even know what this flash was set to, I'm thinking 1/8th ballpark. Was not very high because my ISO was 1600, looking at the little ambient in the hallway, I didn't want that to disappear.
cheers!
Very colorful and great work with the lighting. Also very creative compositions.
Nice work, very colorful! Great way to capture such details.
Love is Beautiful!! Really liked the Pictures

You have an amazing portfolio! I love the color in all of your photos. I would love to know how you process your photos (colorwise) Do you use actions in photoshop or lightroom. I would love to know. Thanks, Kirk
The first photo has 0% photoshop editing. Its a beautiful image because it sat atop my tripod through a 35L prime lens.....
