Chamorro photo shoot

December 16, 2013  •  Leave a Comment

Last week I was fortunate to photograph Israel at Windansea beach near La Jolla.  Usually during our photo shoots our subjects start off very nervous and we always try to create a relax atmosphere by joking with them or asking them to do a dance routine for us.  Since Israel is Chamorro, we asked her to do some of her traditional dance and she became comfortable and the pictures turned out amazing.

As with all photographers I have a personal project that I have been working on here in San Diego.  I have been involved with photographing the local Polynesian Community in San Diego for many years and I have always been mesmerized by the different dances that each culture brings.
