“But they’ll stare!”

Even at 7am, the sweltering heat and humidity made this shoot the stickiest of the entire project.

I immediately fell in love with ballet photography after this session, and it has everything to do with Marisol.

If you ever make it to Medellin, try to order a ‘jugo de maracuya con leche deslactosada’ passion fruit juice with lactose-free milk.

I was honestly too preoccupied with photographing the sunrise to worry about if the (the ballerina) would arrive or not - it was seriously that pretty.

There’s something really lovely about the simplicity of her pose, expression, and outfit - and espresso, of course.

I’m a firm believer in the photographic practice - and life advice - of “it’s easier to say sorry than to ask for permission” when it comes to the run-and-gun nature of this project.

This was the last frame on the roll, Super Bowl Sunday 2018.

Sometimes being kicked out a cemetery can be a good thing…
