The last light of August turned into an afternoon of music, friends and dancing.

Papagayo Tenerife full during Tribu Beach

This weekend I was back at Papagayo Tenerife to photograph another Tribu Beach date. They are one of my longest-running clients, and it is always good to be back with them.

The afternoon started outside in the sun, with people slowly arriving. Then everything changed. The dance floor filled up, the light went down, and the deep orange took over. I wanted to capture that change, from a relaxed afternoon to a night that never really slowed down.

I like photographing these nights from the inside: looking for small gestures, letting things happen and being ready when everything comes together for a second.
