Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?<br \/><\/strong>I am Fernando, a Mexican photographer based in Sayulita. This town has been home for my wife and kids for over eight years now.\u00a0I love life and people! That&#8217;s why I have been a portrait and social\u00a0event photographer for over 12 years now, as an independent photographer across Mexico.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you first land in Sayulita?<br \/><\/strong>I always wanted to live by the beach, so I traveled with my family to try Sayulita out without knowing anyone here. We immediately felt in love with the place. I quickly connected with the community and started working as a photographer for outdoor adventure activities, then booking my own photoshoots as a portrait, lifestyle and real estate photographer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>What about Sayulita inspired you to stay and start your business here?<br \/><\/strong>I consider myself as a nomadic freelance photographer, hustling photoshoots\u00a0and weddings the same way everywhere I go, but the uniqueness and freedom of Nayarit beaches made me want to settle down around the Sayulita area. It makes my kids happy and I love\u00a0having the ocean in my everyday life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you get\u00a0into photography?<br \/><\/strong>I got into photography accidentally as I was a frustrated painter. I always wanted to paint my thoughts but the result was not even close to what I was expecting, nor worth it. I really tried. My mom gave a second hand Minolta film camera she bought in a pawnshop, and that event changed my life. I could communicate and express my thoughts with light and shadows, and that is all I need ever since. That happened in 2001.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What about your services sets you apart from others?<br \/><\/strong>I think of photographers as time machine operators. I love the idea of freezing time, traveling through it, going back and forth in a life timeline. I use that magic to play with time and make it fun for my subjects, provoquing an experience, letting them enjoy themselves. I hope that they remember the day of the photo shoot, even if there weren&#8217;t any photos at all. That&#8217;s the style I like to keep.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What can a client expect when booking with you?<\/strong><br \/>At the photoshoot you can expect a lot of fun and laughter in a unique location. You&#8217;ll also find a local friendly guide in me. I want you to enjoy Sayulita, not just the photoshoot but the whole town, and I will happily point out anything you are interested while you are in this town.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What kind of services do you provide?<\/strong><br \/>I run FDfoto virtual studio, but we are actually a group of\u00a0 friends\u00a0and audiovisual artists who offer all kinds of content creation services such as: wedding photography and videography, real estate and interior photography for booking platforms, virtual tours, themed portrait photoshoots, branding and lifestyle content creation, outdoor adventure photography among other services.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anything else you would like to add?<\/strong><br \/>All these questions about me and Sayulita made me want to go down to the beach to do a photoshoot! Any volunteers ? Who&#8217;s next ?<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sayulitalife.com\/fdfotofer-wedding-photography\">To book a session with Fernando you can contact him here!<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi!
