Ah, Riviera Maya! With its pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters, it is a dream destination for many. Now, imagine immortalizing your family moments against this breathtaking backdrop. Sounds dreamy, right? Scott Brown, a renowned photographer, shares invaluable tips to ensure your family beach photoshoot in Riviera Maya is nothing short of perfection.
Golden Hour is Golden
"Timing is everything," begins Scott. He swears by the golden hour – the brief window right after sunrise or just before sunset. The sun casts a gentle, golden glow, making it the ideal photo lighting. Your family will be enveloped in a warm hue, making the pictures look ethereal.
Wardrobe Wisdom
What you wear can set the mood for the photos. Scott suggests, "Pastel shades work wonders on the beach. They complement the serene environment, making the subjects stand out, yet blend harmoniously." So, when packing for Riviera Maya, think soft pinks, blues, and yellows for the photoshoot.
Makeup Matters
While you might be tempted to go glossy for the shoot, Scott recommends the opposite. "Opt for matte makeup. The natural lighting paired with glossy makeup can make faces look oily." And remember the sunscreen!
Rapport with the Photographer
The rapport between the subjects and the photographer is an essential yet often overlooked aspect. "Breaking the ice before the shoot ensures genuine smiles and candid moments," says Scott.
Backup Locations
Riviera Maya, though beautiful, can sometimes play spoilsport with windy conditions. "Always have an alternative location," Scott advises. A local photographer would know the place, be it a secluded beach spot or a mesmerizing cenote, ensuring your photoshoot isn’t compromised.
