With single-digit temperatures all along the East Coast this week, i think it’s safe to say we’re dreaming of somewhere tropical here in Philadelphia.
Robert Gallagher doesn’t have to dream, as he recently jetted off to Bora Bora to shoot an island story for The Guardian Weekend. He went alongside esteemed writer Andrew O’Hagan, which made the creative atmosphere that much better:
It makes for an interesting life when one day out of the blue an email can come in and the very next week you’re off to a South Pacific Island for a few days to tootle around and shoot beautifully inspired pictures. What I love specifically about travel photography is that in its very essence it’s your job to immerse yourself in the travel experience. You have to feel it to capture it. That does mean long hours though, as you’ll always be top and tailing the day (shooting at sunrise and sunset) which means up at the crack for the best light, but it does make for a memorable experience!
Robert had a great time on the shoot, and even stayed an extra night on the island to soak up some sun and surf time! As for us, we’ll just be here dreaming and gazing at beautiful photos…
