Capturing the flavour of North Africa with an A99 HDSLR and an FS700

The Maghreb

The Maghreb is the region of North Africa to the west of Egypt, with a quite distinctive culture from the rest of the Arab world, and linguistic influences from the ancient Berber to modern French and of course Arabic mingle to create a unique taste

The scenery is outstanding. From the stark natural contrasts of the desert to the geometrical patterns adorning the inside of the buildings.

It's a place that "awakens in the photographer a desire for adventure" according to film-maker Enrique Pacheco.

Time-lapse, normal speed and slo-mo
