What started as a relaxing holiday with my partner quickly turned into an unexpected, last-minute shoot. I had packed my camera and drone for some personal travel shots but left my video gear behind—this was supposed to be a break, after all!

While enjoying the trip, I was approached by the resort's marketing team, who had caught wind of my work and asked if I could capture some staff portraits and drone footage for them. With only a few days left and a jam-packed itinerary of adventures, I had to think on my feet.

Despite the time crunch, I managed to carve out moments between activities to deliver something special. Sometimes, the best shoots happen when you’re running on instinct and improvisation—and this was one of those times.
