What’s the experience like?

Ever wondered what it feels like to have someone else catch the way you laugh when the sea wind messes up your hair? That’s pretty much how our morning started on Candolim Beach in Goa. Our photographer — I think his name was Rajesh, but I might be wrong — met us right by the edge of the sand, camera already slung over his shoulder. He had this easy way about him, not pushy at all, just sort of waiting for us to relax. The air smelled salty and a bit sweet from some chai stall nearby. I remember thinking I’d probably look awkward in every shot, but he kept saying “just walk, don’t pose,” so we did.

We wandered along the shore for maybe 45 minutes (I lost track after a while), sometimes stopping when Rajesh spotted a patch of light or a group of fishermen hauling nets behind us. He’d call out little suggestions — “try looking at each other,” or “hold hands and walk toward the water.” There was this one moment where my friend tried to twirl me and nearly slipped; we both cracked up and Rajesh caught it mid-laugh. It didn’t feel staged at all. At one point, he pointed out that if we wanted to change outfits, there were shacks nearby that let you use their washrooms if you buy a drink — which honestly felt very Goa.

I’m not sure what I expected from a private beach photoshoot in North Goa, but it wasn’t this kind of easygoing vibe. The sun was already getting strong by the end (bring water!), and my feet were sandy in places I didn’t know could get sandy. Afterward, Rajesh said he’d edit about 35 images and send them over in a few days. We grabbed cold sodas from one of the shacks before heading back — still laughing about that almost-fall. Looking back now, there’s something nice about having photos where you’re not trying too hard; just being there, with the sea behind you and someone local who knows how to catch those small moments.
