For a location so prolifically photographed, the islands of the Maldives remain uniquely difficult to capture in a picture. It is easy to pull together an arresting image of a Maldivian beach in your mind’s eye. Teal waves glitter in the bright sun, skirted by wisps of cloud-like sea foam, sweeping gently onto white sand so pure your feet sink pleasantly with every step. And yet, no matter how vivid your imagination, you can almost be certainly sure that it pales in comparison to the real thing.
