Krabi, the second time

A week ago I went to Krabi again with a group of friends. While the Krabi town and Ao Nang beach front is largely the same as last time I was there, the islands we went were different this time. It is also currently low season over there, so there’s not as many tourists around.

My approach to photographing the group of friends was also different – most of the portraits were shot with off camera flash. The results are satisfying, now they look more natural.
