Art from the Islands – David Gallardo

David Gallardo moved to the Turks and Caicos Islands from his native Barcelona in 1999. As a professional photographer for brilliant and tropicalimaging he has been capturing the people, places, and natural beauty of this country for over a decade. I have had the pleasure of working with David on many projects and am very pleased to share a small taste of his varied work here on P & P.

As a professional underwater photographer/scuba diver David has produced some of the most vivid, incredible marine biodiversity images of what lies beneath our waves. Please visit worldofoceans to see more.

His love of travel has brought him to many exotic places; Galapagos Islands, Red Sea, Indonesia, and beyond but most of my favorite images are from right here at home (as pictured above), or from our close neighbors such as Cuba and French Cay (as pictured below).

Aplogies for being incredibly tardy the last few weeks in posting, has been a very busy time for tcmillwork but we hope to share plenty of great news soon!

Point Grace

Last week tropical imaging and I wrapped up an amazing shoot for Point Grace. I was thrilled to be asked to style for this project as the property is quintessential Caribbean, one of the very few boutique hotels that stay elegantly true to their roots. The tropical imaging photo and video crew and I met beforehand to brainstorm ideas on how to capture this beautiful hotel as graciously as she stands in person. Here is the inspiration board I brought to the table.

Our intentions were to capture all the Caribbean charm that makes this boutique hotel unique from any other Turks and Caicos resort. We are very pleased with all our efforts to bring a fresh perspective to Point Grace; see a small selection of the images here, the commercial here and the movie here. My gratitude goes out to the lovely hotel staff who were accommodating to all our needs, to our gorgeous local models, and to Andrew, David, and Preston of the Tropical Imaging team. I adore working with you all!

Art From the Islands

This photograph of a Turks and Caicos sailing regatta was taken by Federico Bigazzi. Federico, originally from Italy, came to the island two years ago as an autocad expert, formerly applying his profession to automobile design. Federico is a program whiz, anytime we have a computer related dilemna he is the first person we call. I greatly appreciate that his technical understanding does not overshadow his artistic eye; his photography represents a great understanding of both. This image is Turks and Caicos timeless. I gave it an extra painterly texture to further express that it could be from yesterday or yesteryear. You will be seeing a lot more of Federico’s photography to come.
