Tim Burgess, Azure (AERIAL 2024)

Lost in the vastness of the Indian Ocean, a hidden oasis awaits. After scouting google maps for the perfect location that would showcase the unique contrast between the tropical fauna and ocean, I discovered this hidden beach amongst the mangroves and palm trees. After waiting for the right light to shoot, I had to walk in the water waste deep with my drone to reach the spot that I had discovered due to the rising tide. It created a beautiful contrast of colour that can only be appreciated from an aerial view
