A good scout is hard to find. So without getting into Oscar Wilde or any other abrogation, let's talk about scouting. We cover the Riviera Maya from Chetumal to Punta Allen to Tulum to Puerto Morelos to Cancun and then north along with Sian Ka'an Biosphere, Isla Mujeres, Holbox and Contoy Islands. Alot! Yachts, groovy and chic hotels, palapas, jungle paths and endless beaches. We've even got a lock on 'the palm tree with the bend on the trunk?'. We found it; Getty shot it. What do you need?

As a pro shooter I've been all over the coast over the last 17 years, and know it well. I do my scouting with the same seriousness as my photography, with the bonus of GPS, compass points and a Macgreth color card so you can calculate your colors, sun track and find that spot again.

Tools of the Trade:

Fuji S3 Pro & Nikon D/ED glass
Suntuo Compass
Garmin GPS
MacBook Pro

How it is Done:

We scout your locations by area and your need, then send you a file of photos via ftp with local data. We'll record data for contacts and permissions as we go. Out of the way places and truly different looks are what we keep an eye out for.

Scouting Clients:

Getty Images, Jim Franco, Starwood, HH Brown/Sofft Shoes, TPO Mexico for International clients and a whole bunch more.
