Cabo de Gata Photography

Martyn Thompson

 Cabo de Gata Photography was set up by Martyn Thompson, a photographer from London who became so in love with the province of Almería that he eventually moved to San José in the middle of Parque Natural de Cabo de Gata in April 2011.

“The purpose of Cabo de Gata Photography is two-fold, firstly to promote the beauty and diversity of the province of Almería and secondly to promote respect for nature and the environment using photography”

Cabo de Gata Photography also work closely with like-minded companies and individuals towards a common goal of sustainable tourism and have participated in some interesting projects and community activities since its inception in early 2012.

“We run a number of off-the-shelf experiences that range from four to six hours duration. For cost effectiveness, we like to run these experiences with groups of four people but we are finding that these are popular with couples, especially the four-hour experiences that tend to be more local. Some people don’t even bring cameras! We also like to prepare “tailor-made” experiences to suit the individual, these are particularly popular with more experienced photographers who know roughly what they want but not necessarily where to go. We also seek to combine our activities with those of other companies, e.g. companies offering artisan workshops, etc., but we will only do this if the collaboration doesn’t compromise our vision of sustainability and our environmental focus.”

Most visitors come to Cabo de Gata during the summer, which of course is very nice, but the area has so much to offer at other times of the year, especially from a photography perspective. The ambient light in the province of Almería has a unique quality and this is especially so over the winter / spring months where it has to be seen to be believed.
