My introduction to the beautiful country of Colombia was the capitol city of Bogotá. I stayed in the historical district of La Candelaria, but it wasn’t until I photographed from Monserrate Mountain one night did I realize how enormous the city really is.
The capitol city sits at over 8,600 feet above sea level and with a population of over 8 million people, only Mexico City and New York City are the only North American cities larger than Bogotá.

1) Find a colorful background. In the historical district of La Candelaria in Bogotá, Colombia there are many colorful street murals to choose from.
2) Carry not one, but two large DSLR cameras. This gives the perception that you are a professional photographer.
3) Communicate effectively. Learn the local language to effectively engage with the locals. In my case, it was Spanish (thanks to Duolingo for helping me brush up).
4) Patience. Wait for opportunities to come to you.
5) Ask a beautiful Colombian woman to serve as your model.
If the first four tips don’t work for you, tip #5 will always guarantee a great photograph!

Bogotá, Colombia - August 6, 2017: Street parade for The Carnival of Bogotá which is celebrated every year for the city's anniversary.
Sunday afternoon I met up with fellow traveler, Steve, whom I met earlier in the week at the Fernweh Photography Hostel, to photograph this parade. While at the parade we ran into another traveler, Stephanie from Germany, whom we met at a walking tour the day before.
For candid street portraits I love using my Canon 17-40 wide angle lens to create dynamic, environmental portraits like this one.
