Nicole and Rollo were a bit camera-shy at first, which is why working with a local is key. Estufa Fria was the perfect backdrop for a “shy sun” day. It’s a literal jungle in the city.

My trick to make them comfortable? I showed them the back of the camera. When they saw how great they looked, the laughter started. I told them: “Just stand there, contemplating the colors and textures.” Using a silent shutter and some distance, I captured the introspective, quiet moments that really reflect a couple’s soul.
