Capturing the coastal rainforest and refined architecture at One&Only Mandarina felt like documenting a secluded sanctuary carved directly into the Riviera Nayarit cliffs. As one of the top rated hotels in all of North America, there was no shortage of amazing perspectives to capture. I focused on photographing a few of the cantilevered treehouses, cliffside villas, and private plunge pools along with two of the main pool on property. The sheer verticality of the landscape required balancing wide, dramatic vistas of the emerald canopy and ocean views with the intimate details within each space. With each frame, I attempted to reflect an authentic vision of ultra-luxury seamlessly embedded in the Mexican coast.
