Soqotra: A Photo Essay by Eva Ho

In November 2021, ISHKAR travelled to Soqotra with leading landscape photographer Simon Norfolk. The trip was designed around Simon's approach to a photography commission on the island, with a series of highlights and landscapes to capture with the best possible light: at sunrise and sunset. The group travelled across the island, from its western end in Ditwah Lagoon to the Eastern beach of Arhar. This series is a collection of some of our favourites, kindly shared by the very talented traveller Eva Ho.
