Life is good here in the Cayman Islands, great weather, easy to get around, everyone is friendly… but we don’t have a lot of live music here! So when it was announced that Kaaboo Festival was coming to Grand Cayman, and that they needed a bunch of photographers from the island to document the festival, I was pretty excited. The event organisers selected me as one of the event photographers, and they saw that I produced timelapse and hyperlapse films. They loved what they saw and wanted me to produce a timelapse film for the festival.

Highlights from the Cayman Islands famous Batabano carnival.

The sun was blazing and the music was blaring – it’s the time of year again… Carnival time! We love capturing Batabano in Grand Cayman every year, it’s arguably the Cayman Islands’ biggest cultural event. What’s great about the event is just how much fun everyone who participates seems to have. The energy the Cayman people put into Batabano every year works wonders for the photographers who follow them from Public Beach to George Town. We can’t wait for Batabano next year!

When I found out I was going to be photographing a gig on Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman I was looking forward to it as we don’t get many gigs here. When I found out it was Jazz and Soul singer Aloe Blacc I was truly excited. Aloe Blacc and his band put on an amazing show, performing hits songs “I Need A Dollar“, “I’m The Man” and “Wake Me Up” they had the Cayman audience dancing all night. A great show at the wonderful setting at the Kimpton Seafire in Grand Cayman.

I recently made the move to the Cayman Islands, where I’ve been busy enjoying the sun, the sand, the sea and the friendly atmosphere. However it hasn’t just been about procrastination here, in fact I’ve been really busy working for Picture This Studios as a Cinematographer and Photographer. I knew Batabano, Cayman’s annual carnival, was coming up and wanted to document it, and fortunately I got the opportunity to do it as part of my job and do official photography for Flow Mobile.​

The people, the colours and the atmosphere all made it a fantastic event to capture.
