Paradise regained

I shoot a lot of mono landscapes and this is one of my favourites...I shot it on a small Caribbean island on the Atlantic coast of Panama called Isla Grande. NB Please click on the image to view at a larger comp size.

This remote part of the island is little-visited by tourists and has a wonderful quality about it which exudes themes like paradise or exotic or tropical.

One thing I love about this photograph is the wonderful black and white tones of the palms in the strong tropical afternoon sun and the uninhabited island in the background. Panama's Atlantic Caribbean coast has an amazing landscape which often reminds me of the film 1492 (cue the Vangelis music!).

This is also a true coconut grove and the friend of mine who owned this land made a small income from the crop of coconuts it produced each year.

I think this dynamic landscape image would be highly suited to many different ad campaigns such as ones seeking to exude a cool tropical image (rather than the usual iStock vernacular colour landscape which abound in many ads) and other advertising campaigns which seek to convey through a strong image a sense of adventure in a tropical location.
