My love and passion for photography has taken me all around the world where I have been able to make my dream a reality. In another life I was feeling like a lion in a cage as I worked as a licensed real-estate broker in NYC. Although I was incredibly successful and in some ways living an amazing city life, I did not feel fulfilled nor inspired. With time I needed to explore this void and step into my true nature which is that of a creative being.
While on assignment working at Sunset Jamaica Grande in Ocho Rios & Sunset at the Palms in Negril we got to meet some pretty cool people. Barbara Lulich, the Marketing Director at the Sunset, was one amazing woman. She is a strong, statuesque, blond woman that has many stories of the experiences she's had over the years she's spent living and working in Jamaica, and is well respected by her peers. They are a team that is more like a close knit family at The Sunset. We worked closely with them throughout the 13 days we were there. The schedule was a bit grueling... we had full 18 hour days with 6 models and two locations. It wasn't one of our easier assignments, but it was definitely quite an experience. We enjoyed it.. Steve in particular.. it seemed to be more his speed.
Sunset at the Palms in Negril was my favorite.. it's so beautiful there.. the sunsets, the treehouse style villas we stayed in, and the lush tropical atmosphere... really a tranquil little oasis. If you're headed to the west coast of Jamaica.. it's highly recommended.
One of our favorite things in the world to shoot is FOOD! Most of the time, the chefs we work with are super nice and let us taste test the goods after we shoot it (if it's edible! Some of the foods we shoot are for photo purposes only ~ not fully cooked, sprayed to keep from moving/falling apart, not all real/edible parts, etc.)and in those cases, understandably & unfortunately, we cannot try them........
This is one of the reasons we love our job.. from the beauty of the place, to the extremely warm and friendly staff, and an assignment that was complication-free.... We entirely LOVED working in Cancun Mexico shooting at Le Meridien Resort & Spa. We got some of the most amazing images from this trip!
