    Fun Things to do while in Cancun, Mexico

    Are you planning to visit some of the best beaches in Cancun? We welcome you to Mexico’s most famous paradise.

    Cancun lies on a 13-mile-long, 396-meter-long, L-shaped island off the coast of the Yucatán peninsula, perhaps Mexico’s most famous tourist destination.

    Cancun has always been a paradise. Cancun was built especially for luxury travelers. The large resort was constructed from the jungle and the pristine beach in just over a decade.

    More than three million tourists visit every year, making it yet one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations. However, you will never run out of adventures in this region with its extensive coral reefs and white-sand beaches.

    Visiting Cancún’s Beautiful Beaches

    Many of Cancun’s top hotels have direct access to the beach – or “playa,” as it is called in Spanish – so you can enjoy amazing views of the fresh, sparkling waters that make this city so famous for tourists seeking Mexico vacations.

    While regular visitors may have preferences, it’s impossible to go wrong with Cancun’s long stretches of beach. Each one has its unique feature.

    Many of the famous beaches in Cancun are located along with the amazing Boulevard Cancun and Paseo Kukulkan, including de las Perlas, or the Juventud, Linda, Langosta, beautiful Tortugas, Caracol, and the great Chac-Mool (of these, Turtles, Caracol, and Chac-Mool tend to be the busiest).

    Pok-ta-Pok, an 18-hole public golf course, is also nearby the 7.45 kilometers long Paseo Kukulcan.

    Spring Break

    Spring break in Cancun is the best time to get your party on. From mid-February until April, thousands of college students and vacationers flock there for some sun and beach fun.

    Climb Coba Ruins

    Sightseeing in Cancun – the Mayan ruins are hard to beat. Coba’s ruins are some of the most exciting please near Cancun, MX, to visit when it comes to these ancient sites.

    The region maintains an ancient culture connected to a modern town of the same name. The best way to learn about the Yucatan’s history is to visit Mayan ruins in Cancun.

    While walking through the ruins, you will see stone streets, carved monuments more than 1200 years old, pyramids, everyday dwellings, and even traditional ball courts.

    Enjoy Playa Delfines

    Cancun is a great place to relax on the beach. Cancun’s highest point is located on this unique stretch of beach. By bus, car, Uber, Taxifi, or standar taxis it is easy to reach the busy beaches in the Hotel Zone.

    There are few of the vast stretches of sandy beach at the Playa Delfines, where you can even find a quiet spot to relax and yet get some shade under one of the different free umbrellas.

    Play Golf on Beautiful Courses

    Cancun has at least 15 golf courses so golfers will be pleased.

    Several courses have interesting terrain and designs resembling cenotes, tropical jungles, mangroves, lagoons, sand dunes, and even Mayan ruins.

    Pok Ta Pok is a favorite course. There are 18 holes at this course, a driving range, two practice putting greens, roving bars, and a driving range in the heart of the Hotel Zone.

    Downtown Cancun is a great place to shop

    Beaches, bars, and watersports are not all that Cancun offers. Visit the city’s downtown, where locals hang out and where you can escape the resorts and glitzy Hotel Zone.

    Mercado 28 or the Malecon Americas Shopping Center offers a variety of shopping. Thus, you can opt for the Cancun day tours to Tulum or you can simply sit in the park and experience Mexican life, eat at one of the tasty taco stands or local restaurants, or witness a less touristy nightlife at night.

  • How to Become an Instagram Travel Influencer

    How to Become an Instagram Travel Influencer

    Do you love to travel and take pictures along the way?

    Are you always sharing photos of your travel pics on Instagram?

    If so, you may wonder how to become an Instagram travel influencer. While it’s not easy, it is possible!

    This blog post will share tips from the pros on becoming an Instagram influencer and gaining a large following. Keep reading to learn more!

    How do Photographers connect with Travel Writers in Newspapers?

    Google led a travel writer, Adrian Bridge, from The Telegraph, a London-based newspaper, to me as I am a photographer who often photographs Instagram Influencers with large followings. He was coming to the Riviera Maya and was thinking of doing a story on how one becomes a REAL Instagram travel influencer.

    So, I gladly offered to help him out. Adrian accompanied me on a fashion photoshoot of an Instagram influencer to see how the process works. He took notes and observed the flow of how a photoshoot works.

    On this beautiful sunny afternoon, we headed to Punta Esmeralda, a lovely beach in Playa del Carmen. We photographed Marianela Pitteri, a talented Musician and Instagram influencer who is also learning to be a YouTuber.

    So What’s Happens Next?

    Adrian and I brainstormed and decided to photograph him as if he were an Instagram travel influencer. We wanted to illustrate that working with a professional photographer and a want-to-be influencer could accelerate the fundamentals of creating an eye-catching Instagram feed.

    The advice I offer to My Clients On How To Take Better Pictures

    I share with all my photography clients, male or female posing tips, the importance of angels, finding and using the best light, and what camera settings I recommend for current lighting conditions. Here are some of Adrian’s photos on his quest to become an Instagram travel influencer. 

    Below is Adrian’s piece on how one could become a travel influencer.

    Read the Telegraph Article

    By Adrian Bridge, Travel Writer & Future Instagram Travel Influencer

    The full story on the process of how to become a Instagram travel influencer, can be read here.

    Our 62-year-old writer decided celebrity hotspot Tulum was the perfect place to finally join social media and share his travels online

    Palm trees swaying in the breeze and shimmering turquoise seas; soft white sands and barefoot ease, wall art wonders and lapping waves… If I was ever going to find my Instagram mojo, the magical stretch of the Mexican coast known as the Riviera Maya was definitely the place to do it.

    An Instagram heaven and a hotspot for influencers and Hollywood A-listers such as Brad Pitt and Jennifer Lopez, this holiday honeypot in the far eastern state of Yucatan has come a long way since it was luring backpackers and intrepid travelers determined to seek out the Mayan ruins at Tulum and swim in the Caribbean. With its wow factor settings and blazes of color, it is now the place to which film stars, celebrities and influencers with products to promote flock; likewise Instagrammers, keen to make their mark and boost their follower base.

    The Riviera Maya is also now home to a number of rather lovely upmarket resorts, one of which – the Tui Blue El Dorado Seaside Suites – was one of the first to welcome back British holidaymakers when long-haul travel to Mexico was back on the menu. At last, I thought: the perfect opportunity to branch out and experiment a bit, to explore not only a new place but also new ways of telling stories about it. To finally join the Instagram generation.

    What? Me, an Insta star? An influencer? At my age (62)? I’d always assumed that this was something for a younger demographic. I’d also never felt comfortable with the idea of something which seemed to me so overtly self-promotional – look at me and look at the fabulous place I’m in right now! Look at me sipping a cocktail in this tropical paradise! Look at me posing beside this ancient pyramid! No thanks.

    And yet I was intrigued. It wasn’t quite how I saw my journalistic career evolving – but maybe you can teach a seasoned practitioner new tricks. I was lucky in that there were plenty of people in the resort who fitted the Insta/Influencer profile rather better than I did, both in terms of age and looks. I asked for advice from one, as they were posing beneath a palm tree. She was highly supportive: “There’s plenty of room for other voices, looks and takes. I think a more mature view could definitely gain followers.”

    If it worked for so many others, maybe it could work for me? It could certainly raise my profile, and it might make me see the world differently. And besides, what did I have to lose?

    We hadn’t even checked in when I got a vision of what lay ahead. On the long, sparkling driveway to the hotel reception area, I spotted a painted mural of a war-like male with leopard spots and a leopard mask beside which a glamorously attired woman was posing (and pouting) magnificently, all rendered in glorious color filters by her boyfriend phone, no doubt for the Insta account.

    I made it a pact with myself that I would be photographed in the same place towards the end of my trip. But first I needed to get the lie of the land, seek out the photogenic spots, watch how others did it – and gird my loins.

    Girding one’s loins is not altogether difficult at the El Dorado Seaside Suites, which lies 20 miles south of the lively resort town of Playa del Carmen and is one of the first winter sun destinations to which the travel giant returned to late last year.

    For a start, it is in a genuinely beautiful spot, with tropical loveliness, unassumingly stylish architecture, several pools (some with swim-up suites) and an idyllic stretch of white sand beach. With all meals and a wide range of alcoholic drinks included, it offers a number of watering holes and restaurants – from a beachside BBQ bar to a “Gourmet pub” and a “Latin fusion food” Culinarium. It also has a nicely discreet spa with signature treatments such as the Náay Water Journey and Kukulcan massage (which are as soothing as they sound).

    Being adult-only, the resort has a calming, soothing, yet slightly playful air. Greeting people – many from North America but plenty of Europeans too – and wishing them well comes easily in a place where the lifting of tensions following the pandemic was almost palpable.

    A popular Insta spot is the large illuminated love heart on a wooden jetty offering fabulous sunrise and sunset shots. Cheesy they may be, but there were lots of people seeking that visual affirmation, mostly as couples. They may have been at the start of their relationships, but equally, they may have been formalizing it – a pair from Dallas declared their vows during a memorable ceremony on the beach.

    For those able to tear themselves away from the swings, sun loungers and whirlpool baths, the state of Yucatan has plenty of other distractions. Twenty miles to the south lies the town of Tulum, home to striking Mayan remains, some right on the beach (and delivering Insta-worthy snaps).

    In the nearby market, I watched the flying dancers of Papantla, was wowed by dramatic costumes and skeletal masks evoking the Day of the Dead and munched on chapulines – dried grasshoppers – a salty snack that tastes surprisingly good with a shot of mezcal (tequila isn’t the only show in town). After that, I cooled off in the thrillingly refreshing waters of a nearby cenote, one of the exquisite pools of water linked to an extensive network of underground caves and tunnels in this part of the world. Considered sacred wells by the Mayans.

    tulum maya ruin beach photography

    This view is from near the mayan ruins looking down the beach of tulum.

    Further south lay another treat: the biosphere reserve of Sian Ka’an (“Where heaven begins”), home to myriad wildlife species including howler monkeys, manatees, jaguars, and crocodiles. It is also where you can snorkel, glide among bottlenose dolphins and rest your eyes on dreamlike desert island beaches. But what I enjoyed most was traveling through the mangroves in a speed boat. James Bond eat your heart out.

    Speaking of Bond, when was this new star of the Instasphere and influencer wannabe ever going to appear? There had been plenty of great Insta opportunities up to this point and I had watched as people capitalized fully, posting scores of gorgeous images – of themselves and the fabulous things they had seen – much to the, ahem, joy of their friends back in a decidedly wintery UK.

    I didn’t feel my own attempts at selfies were all that Insta worthy. So I called for professional help in the form of Joshua Ardoin, an American photographer based in Playa del Carmen who has done shoots for a great number of influencers and Insta fans seeking to boost their social media traction. (Or simply go home with some amazing lifestyle photos.)

    “It’s our job to make everything look beautiful!” says Josh on his website. “I will show you how to pose and suggest the best beaches and locations in the Riviera Maya. You will now have a collection of beautiful images to share with those who matter most!”

    Joshua Ardoin’s top tips for would-be Instgrram travel influencers.

    1. Pick a niche within a niche and be passionate about it. Try travel, fashion, or food.
    2. Have an attractive bio that highlights what makes you unique.
    3. Document your journey and give your best tips and lessons that you have learned.
    4. Make your feed beautiful, consistent and post the kind of work you want to be known for.
    5. Learn to post videos and educate via stories.
    6. Engage and connect with your audience in an authentic way

    I can’t pretend to compete with some of the glamorous people Josh has photographed in the past, nor do I imagine that anyone will anytime soon be looking at me as some kind of fashion icon. However, Josh tells me good lighting and clever angles can work wonders, and that he will come to the El Dorado resort for sunrise the next day. “I’ll find the best spots. Just make sure you have a variety of outfits. I think we should do a few looks: beach, business, something you would go out in.”

    I do my best with some beachwear and a couple of reasonably smart shirts. And over the course of an exhilarating two hours, being photographed looking wistfully out to the sea on a raised platform; walking in wonder along a palm tree-lined avenue; crouching meaningfully by a deliciously inviting pool; standing alongside giant-sized chess pieces; sitting on that swing, and, of course, posing furiously beside the mural of leopard man. I draw the line at pouting, though.

    “Hey man, you’re an influencer!” says Josh, rather generously as we tuck into a bacon and black beans breakfast on the beach after the shoot.

    I’m not sure about that, but I have to confess I rather enjoyed it. I now see the world differently. And two hours later, I successfully sent my first-ever Instagram post.

    What to look for in a photographer?

    Answer: See who is at the top of Google and has many great reviews. Does the photographer have a friendly and updated website with his current work? Does he respond quickly to your calls on your preferred method of communication? Does he speak your language and can communicate clearly?

    How to find the best photographer for your needs?

    Answer: First, price is always important, but as in anything, you get what you pay for. Try to have a phone conversation before booking your photographer to ensure you have good chemistry and understand what you are after.

    Does the Tulum photographer have expertise in the style of photos you are after?

    What to expect during your photography session?

    However, it would help if you kept a few things in mind when looking for your photographer in Tulum.

    First, consider what you want the final product to be. For example, do you want photos of your trip to document your memories, or are you looking for more creative or sexy images?

    Anyyou’rephotographer in Tulum should do the trick if you’re looking for documentary-style photos.

    If you’re looking for something more creative, look, you’re a photographer with some experience with artistic or fashion photography.

    Second, think about your budget. Photographers in Tulum can vary widely in price, so how much time will they give you, will they give you all the images, and how many photos will they retouch for you? How quickly can you get the photographs back to you?

     How to Prepare for a Photoshoot?

    Learn your poses and best angles -when it comes to the day of your shoot, you must have practiced your position in front of a mirror so you’ve felt solid and confident.

    Plan – get the perfect Outfit. Make sure it fits well and you have no wrinkles in your clothes.
    Screenshot attractive outfits on Instagram to your phone for outfits and posing ideas.

    Determine the lighting or mood you want the photographs to portray.

    Our photography clients prefer outdoor family photoshoots because their energy changes as they move around and get used to the camera.

    Try to skip or have just a couple of drinks of alcohol the night before the shoot, as that will disturb your sleep, and it could make your eyes look tired for your Tulum photoshoot.

    Keep your eye out for beautiful locations and ask your photographer where he recommends you shoot for the style of photos you are going after.

    What kind of clothes should you pack for your photoshoot?

    That depends on the mood and style of the photoshoot you are going for. You should dress for the appropriate season for an outdoor shoot.

    But if you are doing portraits or indoor photoshoots, you have much more freedom to wear what you want.

    Ask your photographer what he recommends you wear or bring as props.

    Bring at least 4-8 outfits.

    Winter Clothes Photoshoot Checklist

    1. Textured fabrics often look excellent.
    2. Perhaps something sexy – if you want a boudoir shoot.
    3. Try and avoid noisy or busy prints
    4. A fun outfit
    5. Light Outfit – for a fun and ethereal look
    6. Dark Outfit – bring at least one dark Outfit or top
    7. Consider Necklines
    8. Dress
    9. Scarfs
    10. Hats
    11. Google “props for photoshoot ideas.”

    Summer CPhotoshoot Checklist

    1. Bikini
    2. swimwear
    3. Confortable maxi dress
    4. Sunglasses
    5. Hat
    6. Football
    7. Soccer ball
    8. A dress for a night on the town
    9. Stilettos

    How Much Do Elite Photographers Charge

    High-end photographers – Top professional photographers, or high-end wedding or fashion photographers, charge between $250 – $500 per hour or $200 -$1200 per image.

    This elite group of photographers earns top dollar for their work and professionalism. Depending on their specialty area, they can make up to $10,000 daily.

    They cover areas such as celebrity portraits, fashion, film, documentaries for TV, movies, billboards, or fashion magazines.

    Elite photographer’s day rates – An established photographer’s day rate fluctuates between $1,000 and $10,000 depending on how many hours worked, the setup works, and how many shots the client requests.

    Hiring a professional photographer is not as expensive as some think, and the benefits of doing so often outweigh the cost!

    You can see examples of photography price lists online or look for photographers who offer package deals.

    A professional photographer usually takes 1-2 hours to shoot a portrait, maternity, engagement, senior, or family photo session.

    Editing photos usually takes about as long as the photo shoot, so ask if the editing costs are included in the quote you receive.

    How Much Do Photographers Make

    The annual earning of photographers is influenced by various factors, including the location, the specific niche of photography, the photographer’s reputation / skill level, and the client’s budget.

      1. Novice Photographers: When just starting, a photographer might earn very little, often under $35,000 per year, or even just a few hundred dollars per gig, as they are typically working part-time, building a portfolio, and learning the ropes of the business.



      1. Intermediate Photographers: As a photographer gains more experience and starts to specialize in a specific area (like wedding photography, portrait photography, etc.), they could earn anywhere from $35,000 to $50,000 per year.

        These photographers may have a steady stream of clients and are beginning to establish a reputation in their chosen field.



      1. Experienced Professional Photographers: These photographers have established a strong portfolio, a steady client base, and a good reputation in their field.
        Depending on their niche and location, they may earn between $50,000 and $100,000 annually.



    1. Top-Level Professional Photographers: This group includes the highest earners in the profession, such as renowned fashion photographers who shoot for high-profile magazines like Vogue.

      Elite photographers have typically spent decades perfecting their craft and building an extensive professional network.

      As a result, they can earn anywhere from $100,000 to several hundreds of thousands of dollars per year.

      In rare cases, this amount can even reach the millions for world-renowned photographers.

    Remember, these are rough estimates, and actual earnings can vary significantly. Additionally, many photographers are self-employed and must account for business expenses, taxes, and periods of variable work.

    Why Hire An Experienced Professional Photographer

    You might be wondering why hiring a professional photographer is a good idea. There are many reasons, and we answer them below.

    7) The most common complaint from clients who hire a beginner photographer is that the photos often don’t turn out as expected.

    This is because non-professionals often lack the skill and experience to take great pictures.

    What to Expect from a Professional Photographer

    Hiring a professional ensures you’ll get beautiful, high-quality photos that you’ll be proud to share with your friends and family.

    Hiring a professional photographer is an investment that costs less than renting your hotel room for one night.

    How to find the right professional photographer for your needs?

    How many photos will be polished / retouched?

    What will be the total price to receive the finished images?

    What should I expect from you as my photographer?

    When can I expect to see the proofs, and how will you deliver them?

    How quickly will we receive the final images after we make our selection? Will the photo resolution allow printing?

    The Fierce Hands-on-Hips Pose

    Who runs the world? BFFs! Channel some badass attitude standing side by side with one hand propped on your hip and the other wrapped across your friend’s back.

    That’s why we asked professional photographers to share their top tips for creating visual magic:

    Shoot During Golden Hour

    There’s a reason this is the most popular time for engagement photos, family sessions, and more. The soft, golden light is incredibly flattering without being harsh.

    It warms skin tones, adds dimension, and imparts an editorial, pro-level quality.

    Use Fun Props & Accessories

    Props let you take the photoshoot themes up a notch while having fun with your BFF in front of the camera!

    Some of our favorites include printed phrases like “Sisters Before Misters” and “Goal Getters,” adorable matching bands, bold sunglasses, or string lights for a dreamy backdrop.

    Don’t be afraid to get silly with oversized hats, boas, funky glasses – anything that captures your dynamic.

    Must-Have BFF Photoshoot Props & Accessories

    A well-styled photoshoot takes your pics from basic to totally Instagram-worthy! Amp up the playfulness and capture the true essence of your bond by incorporating fun friendship props and accessories.

    We’ve rounded up 10 of our absolute faves:

    Matching BFF Shirts

    Kick your coordination up a notch by sporting custom-matching tees! Opt for simple text like “Sisters Before Misters” or “You’re My Person,” or get creative with an inside joke only the two of you understand.

    Stand side-by-side, pointing at the text or embracing in a hug to show off your pieces perfectly!

    Pic Frame Prop

    For a meta shot of your BFF status all framed up, have one gal hold up an acrylic picture frame positioned to snap the other inside. Add a printed photo from your younger years for a nostalgic touch!

    Custom Photo Banner

    One of our all-time fave props is a vibrant vertical banner with a fun text phrase like “Squad Goals” or “Best Friends or Nothin’.” Stand on either side with arms wrapped around each other or hands resting on hips #modelstatus.

    Matching BFF Necklaces

    Accessorize your soulister status with delicate matching necklaces featuring two interlocking circle pendants or half-hearts. Facing each other while holding up your bling is an utterly sweet shot.
