Street Locations

We had been in Playa del Carmen for over a month when we found this door protecting a closed shop along Calle 6, near Avenida 10. The side streets east and west of Avenida 5 offer literally hundreds of amazing photographic vignettes. Like much of Playa, they alternate between quaint and cosmopolitan, between authentic Mexican and European in flavor. Playa has significant French, and Italian communities, particularly in the north end near the beach.

Protected by a small awning, this location allowed us to maintain some control over the harsh sun of mid-day… lit with reflectors and some off-camera flash. Model: Dani Izaguirre.
