I am Ibrahim Asad. A Maldivian photographer for the people who come to these islands and the businesses that bring them — with the gallery in your hands in 48 hours.
Scroll to explore ↓Photography in the Maldives — for the people who come here, and the businesses that bring them.
Born in Fuvahmulah, based in Malé, on your island by the afternoon transfer. Thirteen years of honeymoons and weddings, resort marketing libraries, private-island stays and the country's conferences and state visits — all with the same eye and the same 48-hour promise.
Who are you photographing for?
Personal.
You are on holiday and want photographs that feel like you.
Brands.
You market a resort, a hotel group, an airline, or a product, and you need images that sell it.
Brief a project →Retreats.
You are hosting a private stay — a family, a celebration, a wellness week, a yacht charter — and want it documented quietly.
Events.
You are running a conference, an awards night, an opening, or an official visit, and need it covered properly and delivered fast.
Recent work.
Across all four kinds of commission, newest first.

Every island.
216 resorts, each with its own page — the transfer, the travel fee, the light, and the work made there. For guests booking a session and for marketing teams briefing a library.
The promise.
48 hours.
Guests get a sneak peek within 24 hours and the gallery within 48 — often before the seaplane leaves. Brands and event teams get press selects the same day and the full library within 72 hours. I reply personally within six hours, 07:00–22:00 Maldives time.
