Are you ready to have a love affair with all the different faces of the beautiful Maltese Islands and everything they're made of?
There is something truly enchanting about the Maltese islands. Whether it’s the people, the island’s traditions, its architecture or its natural beauty that captures the hearts of photographers, Malta and Gozo’s charm never fails to intrigue even those who have lived there all their lives.
If you want to start your day remembering the beauty that surrounds you in Malta and Gozo, or simply want some travel inspo in your instagram feed, do yourself a favour and follow these amazing Malta photographers - but we're not responsible for any flight tickets booked as a result!
1. Everything Malta - Visit Malta
Although not a single photographer but many, Visit Malta - the Malta Tourism Authority’s official Instagram page is worthy of a mention. Only some of the finest Malta photos ever taken make it to this page, which showcases just what the Maltese Islands are made of.
2. Landscapes, sunrise and sunset - James Scicluna
Do you find yourself breathless by gorgeous landscapes full of natural beauty? Do sunrise and sunset whisk you away into a dream world of colour? James Scicluna’s photos do just that. Every one of his photos speaks to you, reminding you what it means to be alive.
3. Seascapes, motion lapse and long exposure - Matthew Benn
If the mere sight of the sea induces calm and tranquility in you, Matthew Benn is your man. Blues dominate his photography, whether it’s the sea or sky. But light intrigues him, as does the earth and the air, and his photography translates into an experience of the elements with Malta as a backdrop.
4. Aerial views & vibrant colours - Josef Awad
It’s all about perspective with Josef Awad. This man has a knack for showing the world from a different angle. Whether it’s the stunning aerial views or his play with colour and composition, this is photographic art at its best.
5. The devil is in the detail - Albert Camilleri
Another man of perspective, this time up close and personal. For Albert Camilleri, the devil is in the detail, and his angle of vision gives them a whole new life. Landscapes, architecture, food, people, animals and everyday things have never looked so interesting.
6. Everything is art - Philippe Saliba
This one is an artist, pure and simple. It’s all about shape, form, symmetry, composition and colour for Philippe Saliba, many of whose photos could easily be translated into abstracts. There is a playfulness about the way he sees the world that just puts a smile on my face!
7. Gozo and local cats - Joanne Mohr
You can’t have all the attention on Malta when her little sister is even prettier. Joanne Mohr’s love affair with gorgeous Gozo becomes evident by the sheer quantity of stunning photography you can lose yourself in. Her photography style matches perfectly with the mood of the island: simple, colourful and absolutely perfect. Meanwhile, her attraction towards the island’s iconic cats has them frequently featured.
8. Life happening - Tumer Gencturk
Take to the streets and see life happening as it is with Tumer Gencturk’s stunning urban photography. This is when “capturing the moment” really begins to make sense. In a series of black & white and colour photographs, the theme is life: right here, right now… as we make it. Photos of people, things people do, things people love, things made by people, people’s emotions, their beliefs… everything that makes us who we are.
