BARBIE INSPO PINK LAKE, UT by Ricardo Quintana

As the summer sun glistens over the salt flats and against the azure waters of the Great Salt Lake, there's no better backdrop for a Barbie-inspired photoshoot. Stansbury Island, with its rugged beauty and ethereal landscapes, provides the perfect canvas for capturing the essence of a modern-day Barbie adventure.
Go check Evita and Kaleb content, they are such a cool couple.

COLONIAL HOUSE SANTIAGO, CH by Ricardo Quintana

Met this fabulous human being last time I went to Santiago, Chile. This french men was a delight to work with, you can see him everywhere in ads in Chile and, in a popular music video. We were suppose to do a couple editorials but the other model never came. So, naturally we came up with a concept of waiting and being stood up.
