San José is layered and dynamic.
A local photographer understands:
• How tropical light shifts throughout the day
• The best times to shoot in Barrio Escalante
• Where to find clean architectural backdrops
• How to avoid heavy crowds
• Which mountain viewpoints offer cinematic golden hour
The city becomes part of the composition — not just the background.
Yapi describes himself as an apprentice — always evolving, always learning.
Sessions are guided but natural.
No stiff posing.
No heavy over-editing.
No forced expressions.
Instead, the focus is on presence, light, and environment.
Plants, texture, blue tones, quiet spaces — these subtle elements often shape the atmosphere of the final image.
