Photographing reptiles requires a specific approach, considering the particularities of these cold-blooded animals. In the Mindelo area, rich in biodiversity, it is possible to find a variety of species such as lizards, snakes and tortoises, which inhabit both forested areas and rocky and aquatic areas. Photographic trips are planned to maximize sighting and image capture opportunities, offering complete immersion in the reptile habitat. Close-up photography techniques and the use of macro lenses are often employed to highlight scale details and color patterns. Furthermore, it is essential to respect the safety and well-being of animals, maintaining an appropriate distance and minimizing interference with their natural behavior.
