If you have yet to travel to Central America, despite what others might say or think, Latin American people are arguably some of the nicest most genuine people on the planet. This little local girl who was completely fascinated by my camera happened to catch my attention while I was shooting some surfers at this rocky right hand point break in El Salvador a few years back. Although she didn’t say much (she was actually quite shy) while peeking through the poles of that makeshift palapa, I could tell that she wanted me to take her picture, language barrier aside, I simply smiled back at her and fulfilled her wishes. Less fortunate yet so so happy, this little girl's naturally photogenic smile could melt anyone's bad day away in a heartbeat. Photo: Brian Scott/Nica Surf Shots
My name is Brian Scott. I am a freelance photographer from California and recently relocated to Nicaragua, Central America. I enjoy shooting surfing, portraits, empty waves, landscapes and animals of all kinds that are native to this beautiful part of the world. I really try to focus on capturing the surfing lifestyle and essence of Latin America in all its raw beauty–be it locales or explorers alike. I have been coming down to Central America for the past eight years now, and people have always asked me why I choose this of all places. My images show why Nicaragua, to me, is the most beautiful surfing destinations on this planet. Enjoy!
