NO NEED FOR SELFIES

Now you can book a local photograph­er anywhere in the world.

One of my goals this year is to truly unplug. A friend of mine mentioned that they were waiting for the flood of South Africa pictures on my IG feed while I was there over the holidays, but the truth is I really just enjoyed being in the moment. In fact I didn’t take too many pictures. I relished the fact that I was with my family and that the other members were trigger happy enough for all of us. In the end I got to enjoy a real vacation and still come out with photos without having to take them myself. This also meant I was at least in the photos or my husband didn’t shoot me one of his glares when I ask him to take it.

I discovered SweetEscap­e while browsing online and for one of my local holidays, actually my birthday celebratio­n en famille in Boracay, they offered their services. Our photograph­er Kokoy was relaxed, unimposing, we were a bit too tired too head down to the beach and he didn’t insist. Instead he snapped away at candid moments just hanging out and playing with my kids producing some of my favorite photos of all time.

SweetEscap­e is a service that offers clients the possibilit­y to book a local photograph­er anywhere in the world. They use locals who can also serve as a tour guide and take you around unknown areas of the city for those perfect vacation photos.

Here are some personalit­ies who used Sweet Escape over the holidays. They share where they went and where they’d like to explore this 2018!
