Watch these 3 IG Photographers Capture the Limitless Beauty of Maldives

Tuesday 15th of December 2020

It takes talent, the perfect timing and on top of it all, a strong passion to take a stunning, magical shot. When someone has a love for capturing beautiful moments, it doesn’t matter whether they have a phone or a DSLR, the magic lies in the hands of the photographer- and of course, the location, paradise on earth.

Have a look at these three Instagram accounts run by Maldivians who have a passion for photography, but the best part is that most of them aren’t professional photographers!

1. Beyond the Water’s Surface by @maalu_i

If there’s one thing that the Maldives is loved for around the world, it is the stunning underwater world. Maalu works at Shadowpalm Tours, Maafushi, where he helps the guests take some awesome pictures underwater with the marine life, but photography isn’t his profession; it’s his passion. “Once you see what’s under the blue water, deep or shallow, big or small it will leave you in awe.”

2. An Island’s Beauty by @mohamed_af.aan

The perfect timing- one of the most important ingredients for a magical shot. Looking at an IG feed, it can be hard to tell who’s a professional and who’s not. Could you tell that this photo was taken by Af’aan on his phone? The shot was taken while he was on an uninhabited island nearby Th. Guraidhoo.

3. From the Sky by ali_mohmed_____

With 17 years of experience in the hospitality industry and 4 years in the photography field, Ali Mohamed is a professional photographer who specializes in taking aerial photographs. Watch him give you the amazing bird’s view of Maldives’ most luxurious resorts, a magical feeling. What better way to virtually explore the islands?
