Photographing Mauritius
A curated master collection of juried, award-winning photographs captured across the extraordinary light, textures, and landscapes of this territory.
Behind the Lens
The Visual Storyteller’s Guide to Mauritius
Mauritius combines dramatic volcanic geology with a rich tapestry of Indian, Creole, French, and Chinese cultural heritages. Rising sharply from the southwest coast, the monolithic basalt mountain of Le Morne Brabant casts immense shadows across coral reef shallows. Inland, undulating sugarcane valleys and towns like Vacoas-Phoenix and Curepipe experience cooling mountain showers that produce vivid rainbows and dynamic cloudscapes. The island rewards photographers who embrace both coastal seascape minimalism and vibrant multicultural documentary portraiture.
