Shooting in Paradise by Riccardo Mantero:
Let’s begin by debunking a few myths.
Tropical paradises aren’t always paradises, and shooting there isn’t always rewarding. There are mosquitos, dangerous parasites, extreme weather and environmental conditions, and a lot of scarcely-documented adverse situations that can harm you, or even worse, can damage your beloved equipment.
But!
But, in my opinion at least, it’s much better than shooting boring old ceremonies or risky riot situations.
So here I present to you some of my notes of the experiences I’ve gathered in my many adventures in and around some fantastic tropical seas such as the Caribbean, Maldivian, African, or even in some European paradises. Clearly they’re all based on what I’ve come across, along with my goals, which are basically to bring home at least one or two decent – and high quality – shots from every place I visit.
