I meet Valeria through a travel friend here in Medellin. He’s been gone for a while now but he had asked me if I would submit some photos for his new online magazine for the upcoming issue. I said sure but I didn’t have a lot of content because I had two hard drives crash and one stolen since being in Colombia (long story). He said ok to it only being photos of Medellin but had a request for certain photos. One photo being a shot, framed landscape, of a true Paisa chica. We talked and came up with the idea to use his old girlfriend for the shot.
I got a hold of Valeria and she was excited to do a photo session with me but we needed to agree on a date and location for it. She suggested we go to her farm (in Spanish called a “finca”) just outside of Medellin. When I got there it was more like a resort then any farm ever could be. It had a paintball course, a soccer field, fruit orchard, huge swimming pool with jacuzzi and a pavilion BBQ area. The house could sleep 40+ people easily, had a 4 car garage and the best part were all the animals walking around on the property (birds, dogs to large turtles).
A friend, Oscar, went with me to help assist and we couldn’t of had a better day for weather. We spent from 11am to 7pm shooting different shots in different outfits for her. I just needed one good photo for the magazine and anything after that was just for fun to see what else we could get with the light set Below is what we captured that day.

I’m not a fan of spot coloring but I thought why not on this photo since it’s not a serious one and is just for fun. This parrot was insane for the chips we were eating. He also wanted some of my beer but sorry about his luck it just wasn’t in the deck of cards!
