So early one Sunday morning in March I met up with a model by the name of Alana to do a test shoot on Las Cuevas Beach. It was our first time working together but there was a great energy and a great vibe from the beginning.

So the inspiration for this trip came mostly from David Hobby’s training course on www.Linda.com titled The Travelling Photographer: New York. It was in large part responsible for the places I chose to visit. Its a fantastic course that I highly recommend It really made me want to explore and experience Manhattan and well travel in general.
