ABOUT MY WORK

I have a very particular work style that consists in achieving very spontaneous and na- tural photos, usually I shoot many photos during the session until I achieve capturing the small details such as looks, laughter, connections between the both of you and ge- neral things of our
travel

I will help you both pose the best way so the photo comes out beautifully although I always emphasis that the poses need to be as natural as possible. I would also like to know your ideas or expectations of what you want to have as the end result from this session. I am open to suggestions or ideas. If you have something specific in mind please tell me.

I usually work with an assistant. Therefore, during the session there will be two people accompanying you.

ABOUT UYUNI

The Uyuni town and the salt desert are at an altitude of 3680 mts above sea level. The altitude is a point to consider. In the morning and at night we are cold. The best season to see water reflections in the desert is January-May

TRANSPORTATION

We will have a private car 4x4 for the tour and photoshoot. As a photogra- pher I know of locations that could serve as a good photo shoot site. We will have an experienced driver in the desert.

DAYS, SCHEDULE AND PHOTO SHOOT SITES

To achieve stunning photos and make the most of the sites in the Salar de Uyuni, I suggest to do it all in 2 days. Because the distance and places of interest within the Sa- lar are relatively far apart
from one place to another, the most convenient would be to schedule the shoot in two days with the idea of taking the tours and shooting the photos at the same time. For which I am sending you a tentative idea of the schedule we could have during those two days. Unless you have other ideas and you can comment on them to me later.

TENTATIVE SCHEDULE FOR PHOTOSHOOT AND TOUR IN THE
