El Nido is often photographed as a tropical paradise. This book looks longer-and from six changing positions.
Made over four days in May 2018, EL NIDO: BETWEEN ROCK AND WATER moves from the shoreline and open sea to coral reefs, narrow lagoons, aerial views, and the final coast seen through an aircraft window.
Across 87 photographs, boats become geometry, limestone walls close around green water, reef life emerges below the surface, and familiar scenery changes with distance and light.
Rather than following a conventional itinerary, the book lets the photographs lead. The result is a quiet visual essay on Palawan-not a current guidebook, but a record of how one place changes when seen from the beach, a boat, underwater, a kayak, a drone, and the air.
For readers drawn to travel photography, island landscapes, underwater images, and visually led photo essays.
