Hacienda Tres Rios Photoshoot

Christian Vicino had hired me to do a couple photo shoot for the hotel Hacienda Tres Rios in the Riviera Maya. I woke up at 7 in the morning and wanted to shower but it turned out there wasn’t any water. It turns out the whole building was without water so my only option was to go to the roof and bring down a bucket of pool water. Luckily it’s rainy season so it didn’t smell like chlorine. I showered the old fashioned way.

By 10 am I made my way to the hotel, which I had visited a few months before as well when they included a free night for a shoot I did at Cancún Spa. I believe it’s owned by the same hotel chain. Unfortunately we’re in the middle of hurricane season and the first two hours we couldn’t make any photos. It wasn’t until noon that we caught a break and started shooting.

I really enjoyed working with Ness Plé and the people from Tribu Kreativa. We has a lot of laughs throughout the day. The staff at the hotel was also great, especially the chef. He was into fusion cooking and he us try yogurt turned to gel by some chemical process. It was a very odd texture, and that’s coming from someone whose eaten cockroach when I was in Thailand.
