The Experience

The first thing I noticed was the way the sunlight slipped through the clear bottom of the kayak—kind of like standing on glass, only warmer and wobblier. I’d expected to be nervous about the camera, but our photographer (I think his name was Andre?) just grinned and said, “You ready for your closeup?” in that easy Jamaican way. He walked us down to the water, which was surprisingly cool around my ankles. There’s this moment when you’re half in, half out of the kayak—awkward but also kind of funny—and then suddenly you’re floating, looking straight down at little darting fish and ripples below.

I’m not really a natural poser (my friends will back me up on that), so I appreciated how Andre did a quick demo before we started. He showed me where to look for the drone—tiny speck up there—and how to angle my paddle so it caught the light. The wind kept playing with my hair and I had to laugh at myself more than once. Every now and then someone would call out from shore—maybe just curious or maybe they knew Andre? The whole thing felt relaxed, no pressure. Even when he snapped a bunch of shots in a row, it never got stiff or staged.

Afterwards, I sat for a minute just watching the sky turn softer over Montego Bay. My legs were mostly dry (which honestly surprised me), but my cheeks hurt from smiling so much. The photos came a couple days later—about 7 edited ones plus some raw video—and yeah, I still look at them when I need a mood boost. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to float above turquoise water with nothing but sunlight under you… well, this is probably as close as it gets.
