The original plan was to spend the entire day shooting at a special hacienda near Izamal. It had been turned into a botique hotel, but it was currently not being used as a hotel. It was beautifully decorated and had great artwork. It had numerous beautiful settings including a pool, and a water / fountain chamber, and the main building had several beautiful rooms. One bedroom had a beautiful staircase up to a second floor area, an one room was painted in an aged yellow/orange that provided the background for some awesome pictures. The original plan was to shoot in the morning for a few hours, then take a break and leave for lunch Izamal, then return and shoot in the later afternoon. However, we got a little change of plans. Apparently the owners were trying to sell the property, and they had somebody coming to view it in the afternoon. Those people wanted to stay the night to check it out, so we ended up not being able to have our second shoot of the day there.
We had a nice lunch in town, then we went downtown at went through a museum of local Mayan folk art. We also walked through the prominent convent of San Antonio de Padua. It is a large dominant structure in the middle of town that looks a bit like a fortress castle. While we were doing this, the models took the opportunity to go to a day spa for a little rejuvenation. After we all reassembled it was nearing sunset, and we decided to go down to the square in Izamal where UT Adventure had made a splash a few years ago with a model shoot, and have a golden hour guerrilla shoot. This time all the models were dressed, so it was more like a fashion shoot. All the locals found it quite interesting and were checking us out pretty good. Some were probably remembering back to the nude shoot a few years ago. After sunset we headed back to our home base, and we were hoping to possibly return to the nice hacienda on the last day.
