“These spontaneous shoots—the ones that don’t feel like a photo shoot at all—with reluctantly natural models tend to be the most captivating.” Photographer Brianna Mancini captured the essence of carefree friendship on a spontaneous afternoon in Costa Rica. Featuring models Vera and Claire, these images were brought to life against the stunning backdrop of W3orges.

I once read somewhere that you only have one chance in life—to love life and people. There is no other path to happiness. Love, the mightiest of all passions, can sear your very soul, imbuing it with a fire no other sentiment can match—if you but open your heart to its power.
