REPUBLICA DOMINICANA X TOLA

The beauty of the Dominican Republic rendered me speechless. The melodic music, the tantalizing food, the warm people, the breathtaking views. It’s a beautiful, harmonious mixture that gives this country its heartbeat. This beauty is now apart of the heartbeat of Tola Swim.

For the launch of Tola Swim, it was a no brainer that I would shoot on the island of the Dominican Republic. Last year, I visited the island for a quick vacation and left feeling like a part of me was stuck on the streets of Samana. The sense of belonging was so strong that I could not shake it. I had to go back.

For this trip, I wanted to capture Loha and Minerva as they pranced around my favorite spots in DR in their Tola Swim
