Grenada isn’t just photogenic — it’s soulful. From luxe beachfront escapes to unfiltered moments in fishing villages, this island invites you to shoot with intention. Whether I was capturing the polished elegance of Silversands or sharing a riverside meal with a vegan chef, Grenada gave me stories — not just scenes.
The journey started in the Grenada Carenage, a historic harbor that curves around the coastline like an old-world amphitheater. There’s a lived-in beauty here — brightly painted buildings perched just above the water, boats bobbing in rhythm, fishermen hauling in the morning catch.
It reminded me more of a coastal French village than a Caribbean capital, and it set the tone: this was going to be about capturing real life, not just beautiful backdrops. I reached for the Texas Leica (Fuji GW690III) to do it justice — its medium format gave weight to each frame, inviting stillness and focus.
I’ve never considered myself a landscape photographer. I’m drawn to people, to feeling, to subtle cues that tell you where you are without shouting. Grenada gave me both ends of the spectrum — the refined luxury of Silversands and the raw charm of the everyday.
At Silversands, it was all clean lines, soft linens, and that perfect interplay between design and nature. The team there understood craft. The spa manager made sure every element — from lighting to timing — was considered. We weren’t just creating visuals, we were building atmosphere.
But equally moving were the everyday faces:
This is where portraiture thrives. Between luxury and life. That middle space where something honest emerges.
Grenada has all the visual ingredients: mountains, beaches, black volcanic sand, waterfalls — you name it. But it’s not the topography that stays with you. It’s the vibe. The generosity. The sense that beauty lives not just in luxury resorts, but in the face of a man offering you lunch by the sea.
As a photographer, this island gave me everything: the polish of a five-star property and the intimacy of local life — both held in equal regard.
This is Pure Grenada. And this is what I live to shoot.
