Location: On the main beach of Jericoacoara, Brazil
I met Carlos, a breakdance artist from Jericoacoara, on the beach practising his moves and we decided to use the beautiful backdrop of Jeri’s sunset for a photography session showcasing his skills and freezing him mid-flight. Now I am back in Germany, but we still chat once in a while, and this is what I like about travelling. It is not only about leisure and adventure but also about meeting people and collaborating with them on creative projects.
DMYTRO’S TOP TIPS
1 Zoom is king. When travelling you might not be able to visit a location twice so mount a zoom lens for more flexibility.
2 Prioritise dawn and dusk. Start shooting when everyone else is still asleep and you will see what other travellers never do. On the other hand, be the last person to leave a location at the end of the day.
3 Be an optimist. Tell yourself that you will make a great photo whenever you go out shooting – it is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
