For most of my photography / art career I’ve worked with individual models on very intimate shoots. Shoots were there's mostly one subject with just me and my wife.
So it was with nervous surprise and enthusiasm that I accepted an invitation to do a live performance at the Hotel La Concha.
It's been nearly a year since hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico and there's another hurricane season starting now.
It feels like a good time to go back and share my experience.
I've always been a fan of people that dance to the beat of their own drum. Alejandra is such a person.

The day is Saturday and my phone alarm is screaming. It's vibrating furiously crawling away from the table, trying it's very best to drop to the floor and escape my desperate attempt to shut it. It's time to wake up and head out to shoot sunrise.

I get a lot of people tagging models and photographers in my Instagram. Like a night fox, they drop someone's name in my feed and then promptly disappear, never saying a word and never hearing from them again. I've always been conflicted on how to react to this.
I've spent the last ten years of my life doing mostly nude photography. Last I checked, I have well over 2 million shutter presses and over 400 thousand photos saved on my numerous hard drives. In this time I've seen a lot of naked bodies. It's a privilege to see humans drop their pretenses along with their clothes and embrace their vulnerabilities.

A few weeks ago I had the chance to photograph the very incredible Elena Laurenti. After our shoot she wanted to write about her experience and thoughts from it. Here are her words:
Ending the year taking sunrise photos is a long tradition i've held with my good friendMarien. We would get up at 4am and rush to catch the sunrise as it was happening.
This year I had the opportunity to spend it with a few great people from instagram.
