COORDINATES - A JAMAICA PHOTOGRAPHY GUIDE

The Jamaica photographer's guide that didn't exist until now.

Location-by-location field notes — timing, light, access, gear, and the frames worth the early start. Written from inside the country, updated as I go.

Inside every guide

No filler. No tourism-board talk. Just what a photographer actually needs to make the frame.

Light and timing

When to be there, when to leave, what the light does month by month.

Access and logistics

Drive time, parking, fees, road conditions, and whether you need a guide.

Gear that matters

Focal lengths, filters, tripod yes-or-no, and the one thing not to forget.

Real frames I shot

My actual photographs from each spot, with the settings and the story.

The Roadmap

The map so far. Every guide below is shot, being shot, or next on the list. Watch them turn green.

  • 🟢 [Nonsuch Falls] — get this guide next week in First Photons

  • 🟡 Blue Mountains: chasing the cloud seaIn the field now

  • 🟡 Boston Bay: the drama of high seasWriting

  • Reach Falls in the green seasonPlanned

  • Treasure Beach: Jamaica's quietest sunrisePlanned

Where should I go next? Tell me the location you'd want a guide for — or the one you've never been able to find good information on. The most-requested spot jumps the queue.

The guides are coming. If your trip is coming faster, book a Path Session, and I'll build your itinerary directly.

Coming to shoot Jamaica ?

A new Island Frame arrives on the first Tuesday of each month.

Every guide is announced in First Photon first — with field notes that don't make it to the site.
