The experience

I actually showed up late because I couldn’t find the right turn: Google Maps got confused by all the tiny roads near the water. The guy waiting for us (I think his name was Jayden?) just grinned and said it happens all the time. No stress at all. We walked down to the shore and there was this bamboo raft bobbing gently, already set up with bright cushions and a plate of fruit that smelled like mango and something else I couldn’t place. The sun was out but not too harsh. Just that kind of soft heat you feel on your arms in Curaçao when it’s still early.

Getting onto the raft was a bit wobbly. I almost dropped my phone in the water, which made everyone laugh (including me). Our guide handed us these icy cocktails (passionfruit? Rum? I should’ve asked) and talked us through how the drone shoot would work. He kept saying “just relax” and honestly, after five minutes floating there, I did. The water below was so clear you could see little fish darting around. At one point he gave me a coconut to hold for a shot (Li laughed when I tried to say ‘kokosnoot’ in Dutch) probably butchered it.

The whole thing felt less like a photoshoot and more like hanging out with friends who happen to have a drone. They’d shout suggestions (“try lying back!” “hold up the fruit!”) but never pushed too hard. Sometimes we just drifted quietly while they set up another angle. There was a breeze that kept flipping my hair into my face. I’ll probably see that in half the photos but honestly, I kind of love it now.

I didn’t expect to care about having videos taken but seeing those clips later (they sent them fast, edited too) made me weirdly happy. It’s not just posing. It’s remembering how relaxed I felt out there, floating with nothing but sky above and water below. If you’re thinking about a bamboo raft drone photoshoot in Curaçao…well, don’t overthink it. Just go float for a while.
