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.

Model: Sebastien Betsch.

A DAY OF THE DEAD STORY /  by Ricardo Quintana

Photoshoot inspired by the song “Aunque es de Noche/Although it is Night” by Rosalia. I wanted to do a more cinematic set with color lights and car lights only.

The whole story is basically about Death driving a car to a encounter a woman. She is waiting and ready to experience the next life.

Song suggested “Aunque es de Noche“ by Rosalia.

“Hither all creatures are being called, And from this water, though in darkness, they drink their fill, although it is Night.”




FEELS LIKE SUMMER - CORA /  by Ricardo Quintana

Cora feels like Summer, flowers, green and sunlight.  One more time we team up with Cora, this time just a laid back shoot in some garden and it is pure magic! Cora is only 15 years old and, she totally looks 15 in person but, in front of the camera she can transform to what ever the camera asks. She is also an actress and singer. Currently she juggles from school to two musical and other projects, kids nowadays! Can't wait to see what the future holds for this amazing teen.
