Travel Videos: “Canarian Hymn” In Gran Canaria, Tenerife And La Gomera
Filmed and Edited by: David Jervidal & Tommy Jervidal
The Canary Islands has been a huge eye opener for me and my father.
We visited Tenerife and Gomera for the first time ten years ago and as photographers we immediately saw the possibilities in the variety of the landscapes. Coming back for more than eight times, the spirit of the nature on the Canary Islands still has a deep impact on us while searching for the Milkyway on Teide, wandering in deserts, rainforests and often getting lost hiking in the mountains.
Canarian Hymn is the result of our journeys and is a celebration of that intense warm light that shines on these islands.
It was filmed on Gran Canaria, Tenerife and La Gomera with a Mavic Pro 2 Drone and a Sony A7Riii.
