When it comes to diversity, Madagascar is not short of it; spectacular white-sand beaches, rare wildlife, rainforests, canyons, hidden waterfalls, glittering rice fields, the world’s fourth biggest island. While it is officially part of Africa the lineage of its people is a beautiful mix of both African and Asian; they carry in their genes the heritage of a past Indonesian colonization. Away from but never too far from the African continent, Madagascar has found a way to cultivate its own uniqueness. Here is “Mada” — as the locals affectionately call it — through the lens of my camera.
Who doesn’t love a lemur? These gentle creatures can only be found in Madagascar. Sadly, they are critically endangered.
The beach at Ifaty. Madagascar is blessed with some of the finest beaches along the Indian Ocean, and its warmest waters, too.
The sun rising up over the ocean — one of those moments that should simply never end.
Madagascar is about light, warmth and colour.
The Malagasy people of Madagascar are truly amazing. Going through villages to see how local people live and perform their daily tasks fascinated me beyond words.
The Malagasy know how to greet you with a smile.
A walk in a village really helped me to understand the culture.
The Malagasy’s lifestyle values a sense of respect and appreciation that are bound to have a long-lasting, transformative effect.
