Chamarel Mauritius

“With A Smile”

Something that is still beautiful and that captivated me while in Mauritius was how hard working women always take pride in whatever work they do. These two portraits really illustrates this happiness and in the picture on that day it was raining heavily but she didn’t care much about the weather.
This post is dedicated to all the hardworking women around the world in particular my mum

The Streets of Mauritius - Roll 2

This is the continuation of the Street Photography of my holiday in Mauritius last December 2017 & January 2018. Still the same location "Centre de Flacq"  a busy district located in the East of Mauritius. 

I tried to capture the everyday life of the Mauritian people some pics might disturb but that's the reality of the life in Mauritius. There's not only beautiful beaches in Mauritius it's a multicultural island where we all try to make a living. Street foods surely does not conform with the safety standard of other country but the taste is amazing. I've grown up eating that type of street food which are delicious.

Make sure you comment and tell us about your experience travelling to Mauritius Island. Or if you were born in Mauritius and usually go back for holidays.

 

The Streets of "Centre De Flacq Mauritius" - Roll 1

This is part one of a series of street photos that I took of the everyday life people in "Centre De Flacq in Mauritius." Flacq is a District located in the East of Mauritius and it is a very busy place. You can find lots of bargain for the shopping lovers. 

Food is not too bad considering the prices there. But for sure if you are a street photography lover this place is like winning the photography lottery. With beautiful colors everywhere, busy streets, old cars, traditional streets food of Mauritius and much more.

I do recommend this place for any street photographer who is planning to go or is going to Mauritius.

The Street of Mauritius

This pic was taken on my holidays in December last year in Mauritius. I forgot how in Mauritius we don't have my concern about safety precautions and just want to get the job done. Here's a very good example to showcase this.

I took this photos in Flacq a suburb in the East of Mauritius. It's a pretty busy place with lots of shops and there's a big market that opens I think 2-3 times during the week.
