Shot in Huvan

2 shoots across 1 island

Rough seas offshore in the north; fishermen stay near the reef. Maldivian fishermen and farmers have planned by Huvan for centuries; the almanac says the same thing every year, and it is right more often than the forecast.

For photographs: vivid, saturated colour in the water. Morning sessions are the calmest. Iruvai is the peak season, so book the date early — I hold a quote for five days.
