Guy Prives is a photographer who ran into a little issue when he was trying to sell an image he took while in Costa Rica.

Guy took a picture of a beautiful tattooed girl, sitting on the beach in Costa Rica, but he wasn’t able to sell the image because he didn’t have a model release.

Guy really loved the photo he took and was determined to find away to find the girl in the picture.

“[He], took an interesting initiative to finding his model, affirming that at-least on our connected world everybody is no more that 6 degrees of separation from anyone else.

So, he used the power of social media to try to find the girl just using the image of her back that he took. He posted the photo on Facebook, Pinterest, blogs, tattoo forums, etc.

Finally, he found her.

A girl had recognized the back from a picture posted on Pinterest and helped Guy to find her. He found out that her name is Bri and she lives in Costa Rica and works at a bar. So, Guy decided to contact her via Facebook.

"Hello, I know it may sound weird but is that you?

XXX XXX told me she recognize you if so please let me know :)

Have a great weekend, Guy

With that short email, they were in contact. Bri ended up signing the model release.

It is crazy how connected everyone is. Do you think Guy would have found her if she didn’t have the back tattoo?
