Local island · Alifu Alifu (North Ari) Atoll
Thoddoo photographer.
70 guest houses, a bikini beach, a harbour — and sessions from US$320.
Thoddoo is an inhabited island in Alifu Alifu (North Ari) Atoll with 70 registered guest houses. Local-island stays are a different Maldives from the resorts — a village, a harbour, a bikini beach set aside for visitors — and they photograph differently too: colour, life and texture rather than an empty horizon.
Sessions on Thoddoo run at sunrise or in the hour before sunset, on the bikini beach, the harbour wall, or a sandbank by dhoni. I travel by public ferry or speedboat from Malé; the travel fee is quoted on its own line, and for most local islands it is the lowest on the list.

Yes. Thoddoo is an inhabited island in Alifu Alifu (North Ari) Atoll and I travel there by ferry or speedboat from Malé. Sessions run at sunrise or in the hour before sunset on the bikini beach, the harbour, or a sandbank by boat.

Of course. Most of my local-island work is for guest-house guests; there is no resort policy to check. Tell me which of the 70 guest houses you are staying at and I will meet you there.
