'' to me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them "

Actually I am a journalist who works at a local weekly magazine. As I work with it, I come across taking photos as well doing the layout work for the magazine, although I prefer taking photos of natural beauty scenes more....!!

I am happy because I live in a beautiful country (Maldives) from where I could take breath taking photos to show the viewers around the world, with the link of Flickr....!!

I really appreciate the comments and the support given by my fellow colleagues and friends...!!

Thank you for visit....!

"M o d e is a perfectionist photographer. ALL his photo is a must to see and they are wonderful to your eyes and absolutely a perfect 10! He's making Maldives into a big island for everybody to see the beauty of it. Here's wishing you all the best and thanks for sharing the beauty of our nature from your eyes! From Lito Ibanez of Daly City, CA."

ahmed (John) says:
""I am proud to be a friend of MODE. His pictures are amazing and he shares his extensive knowledge of photography with his friends and contacts.""

Verkadefotografie says:
"I saw him today for the first time, and I thought such creativity should not be blocked by a free Flickr-account.....
Mode, Keep them pictures coming....."

Autism Mom says:
"I really enjoy looking at his photos! This is an amazing talent here! His photos strike a lasting image of beauty that one feels like clicking on asap!!!! They really make my day and are worth saving to show my family. Bravo!!! Excellent!!!!"

ScarletPeaches says:
"m o d e shares beautifully dramaitc coastal photographs, amplifying his images with local history, folklore and information. Visiting his flickr site is always delightful and informative, a treat for the eyes and the mind. He's an excellent flickr contact, acknowledging comments and reciprocating in kind."

Decomprose says:
"If one is unfamiliar with Maldives they need look no further than the beautiful artwork of Mohamed Abdulla Shafeeg. Mode's images tell a warm and compelling story of the Maldives Islands and the Maldivian people, both of which he knows very well and clearly loves. His sense of artistry means strong compositions, rich warm colors, compelling textures, and inviting images that are likely to inspire viewers to practice their Dhivehi, visit their travel agent, and pack their bags!"

dlangshaw says:
"As interesting and as unique as his name, Mohamed Abdulla Shafeeg is the perfect ambassador of where he resides in the beautiful tropical Maldives.

His keen eye for beauty and passion for what he has and and sees is a gift to us all when he shares through his remarkable photographs.

With great appreciation, I am certain most anyone with a heartbeat will see in an instance...they have found paradise while looking at the incredibly beautiful compositions Mohamed brings to share with us.

It is like going on a virtual tropical cruise....just sit back, put yourself at ease as you let flickr settle into this beautiful tropical MODE of Mohamed Abdulla Shafeeg...the one we all like calling our friend.

Cheers my friend...keep doing what you are doing. You are such a fortunate man!

Your flickr friend,
Duane"

"Flickr is proud to have you...you have such an amazing gallery...really nice shots mode ! i luv it! I am going to enjoy looking at the beauty you portray !"

couleewinds says:
"Welcome to the world of: m o d e!

Here is an artist of the rarest kind; one who captures his own world, through his heart! He only uses a lens to interpret that special place, for the rest of us mortals.

The beauty he finds, will take your breath away; from the radiance of a local child, to the stunning colors of the sunset, I encourage you to linger with his photos. I know your response will be the same as mine: deep breath, sigh......the rest of the world falls away.

Thank you mode, when the winters are bleak in my world, I'll come visit yours! You are truly an Ambassador for your country.

Sue Nichols aka Couleewinds"

Martin Third says:
"I just love these views of the Maldives. - the sillouettes, in particular, are exceptional! I think Mode is in the wrong job - a job taking photos for the Tourist Board is where his talents should be used!"

AnnuskA - AnnA Theodora says:
"Mohamed has such an eye for beauty! His photos have excellent quality and wonderful warmth! It's impossible not to apreciate his work!
