Matt & Liz in Palmar

Friday, February 25th, 2011

My friends: Liz and Matt are a couple of very young, yet very successful photographers from Panama. They invited me to the El Palmar beach on the Pacific cost of Panama to create their anniversary portrait.

Later in the evening, during low tide we had some light painting at the rocky beach:

Maria and Alvaro get married in El Valle, Panama

Tuesday, January 18th, 2011

El Valle is a beautiful mountain town less than 3 hours drive from Panama City. Thanks to high altitude and proximity to the equator it is one of the few places privileged to enjoy spring  weather all year round.

I had a chance to visit el Valle accompanying Mathew Aftre of Lizzie Photography and to take photographs at a very colourful  Panamanian wedding.  Acting as a guest photographer I could skip the formal portraiture and focus on the most interesting part: wonderful fiesta and people’s emotions. I hope to be able to share at least a tiny  bit of the great time I was having there with my pictures!

On a TV Show

Friday, January 8th, 2010

Today my photography was featured in “A Gusto”: a popular morning TV show produced by Canal 21 in Panama. I hope be able to publish the whole recording in the future, for now I am just showing a few backstage pictures (courtesy of Efrain Alvarez)

Daysa & Jeroen get Married in Panama

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

I spent most of 2002 and 2003 in Panama, participating in a student exchange program. I fell in love with this small tropical country and with its people. Panama has become my shelter from the cold European winters, I have been spending there a few weeks almost every year since.

Daysa was the one who picked me up from the airport the first time I arrived. After two years she participated in the same exchange program
in Mexico, where she met Jeroen. Because of Jeroen she moved to Holland. One day they both visited me in Prague and I took them a couple of pictures. They liked them so much that decided to appoint me as their wedding photographer. It was my shortest trip to Panama (six days), yet one of the most enjoyable.

The ceremony took place at Iglesia de San José in Casco Viejo (aka “Iglesia del Altar de Oro”), the reception was held at the Gamboa Resort.

During this assignment I was assisted by Sandy Hu.
