Story behind the shot: Playa Guiones

MatadorU photography student Nat Kuleba talks about the evening she took this image:

The sunset gathering on Playa Giones, Nosara, Costa Rica. It’s a ritual for everyone — locals, expats, and travelers. I was there on a surf trip with a super close friend, a brother. All we did was surf all day. When sunset came we’d be on the beach with a six-pack of Imperial. I’d have my camera in hand. One night I caught a glimpse of this father and his baby on a bike. I quickly grabbed my camera and captured this scene. I feel like it offers a glimpse of what it’s like to fully be there.
