You meet inside the Starbucks near the malecón and the city opens like a film set—cobblestone alleys, sun-splashed plazas, and a Pacific light that flattens into gold by late afternoon. The photographer guides you through neighborhoods, eyes scanning for color, texture, and the small gestures that make a portrait honest. Streets hum with market vendors and the sea itself seems to lean in, offering reflections and backdrops.
