Outdoor portraits with Daniela – Costa Rica Photography

I recently worked with Nabruk clothing on a fashion portrait shoot in Costa Rica.

Nabruk is a clothing line made in Costa Rica, by designer Claudia Miranda.   The clothes have a lovely quality of movement. They are comfortable, versatile, with a simplicity that allows for casual, comfortable, elegant wear.  I’m a fan! 🙂

The clothing designs are inspired by the magic and flow of nature . . . by the ocean, the wind, the roots . . . so we took that inspiration for the outdoor photo shoot, too, using color & textures of nature as our backdrop.

The beautiful woman in the photographs is Daniela de la Ossa.  Daniella is not a professional model (though she’s certainly lovely enough to be!).  I gave gentle posing suggestions and prompts to fit the style of Nabruk; we also laughed a lot and had fun.

In some of the photos I hoped to capture the style and movement of the clothing, as well as create a sense of magic and drama with our outdoor setting . . .

We were able to photograph many different outfits and in just a short amount of time.

Below is a little photo of me taken at another time and place.  I was scouting a new location with a fellow photographer, Gio.  Gio surprised me and I had no idea that big wave was coming – it made quite the thunderous sound when it hit the rock, hence my surprise!  In the photograph, I am wearing a skirt by Nabruk.

Wishing you a wonderful day, and thanks for viewing!

Sincerely,
~ Oriana
