COMINO CAMPING ADVENTURE
A LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP
EXPLORING NATURE’S BEAUTY
THROUGH HIKING / CAMPING ADVENTURE’S
Comino, a gem in the Maltese archipelago, is a paradise for landscape photographers due to its captivating beauty and diverse scenery. The island is famed for its Blue Lagoon, where crystal-clear turquoise waters and white sandy seabeds create a stunning, almost surreal backdrop. Beyond the lagoon, Comino offers an array of landscapes, from rugged cliffs and secluded bays to lush greenery and unique rock formations like the Santa Marija Caves. The island’s serene atmosphere, largely undisturbed by crowds, provides a peaceful setting for capturing the perfect shot. Historical sites, such as the Santa Marija Tower, add a rich, cultural dimension to the natural beauty, while the minimal light pollution makes for breathtaking sunrise and sunset photography. In every corner of Comino, the blend of natural splendor and tranquility makes it an extraordinary place to capture and savor the beauty of the Mediterranean.
Together, Nathan and I teamed up to provide you the experience of seeing the most beautiful locations in Comino and photographing these breathtakingly beautiful yet rugged coastlines. A hiking adventure packed weekend that offers breathtaking caverns, natural arches, cliffs, and turquoise crystal clear waters.
