Maapu came out of nowhere to me, smack into the middle of my path and I couldn't be more grateful. The mind behind this man's work leaves me even more breathless than his flawless, boundary-pushing artistic endeavors. It's been so long since I've met somebody who lived and breathed their passion in such a way that you … Read more

Maapu came out of nowhere to me, smack into the middle of my path and I couldn't be more grateful. The mind behind this man's work leaves me even more breathless than his flawless, boundary-pushing artistic endeavors. It's been so long since I've met somebody who lived and breathed their passion in such a way that you can't help but be utterly inspired beyond words. Maapu, you own my heart and soul in the way that any great artist holds it's audience completely captivated, stuck in awe. You've made me want to continue growing and pushing myself as a photographer, as a person. You've managed to remind me that there are people out there who completely get it and that, in the end, all that matters is the art (because it's everything). You've left an impression on me. For that, i'm forever grateful and blessed. you are one of the greatest guy i have met in life. you rock :D i pray that you get everything you wish for GOD bless ya

"I've been watching your stream for a while now mauroof khaleel (maapu) and all I can say is that you're definitely my source of inspiration for photography. I believe photography is not just shooting things, it's about your soul, your visions and dreams. Need to listen to them before clicking...and you have all of them. And you listen. Thank you for sharing your world with us, happiness and sorrow, beauty (a lot of beauty in your case!!!) and pain. Yes, you definitely have a gift, a wonderful one, and you're making the best of it. Don't ever stop :-) Last but not least, I want to thank you for being so generous and always leaving nice and encouraging comments! Try to always be up my dear, life ain't easy most of the times but even though we have an ocean (and some hours!) between us, count on me as a good friend. ur one of my favorite singer happy new year ikooooooo

I'm going to finish what i started before i got /get side tracked! But where do i start when describing someone so very unique, talented, kind and to me my mentor! I see the world the way i wish i could when i see Maapu's work, work to me is creation! and you do it so very beautifully. I would not have got this far without your constructive critism, you have made me observe thing's differently, thinking outside the box and i benefit from it greatly. I thank you from my heart and i wish you and Hana all the very best of wishes from today and everyday. God bless always.

Maapu is one of my favourite photographers of all time. As strong as these words may appear for a flickr testimonial, it is very much true. His style and composition continue to amaze me.

my first memory of maapu was of him leaning against a water container in Aliya school. he was then known as plain mauroof . i was 3years old ( i have a very good long term memory and rarely forget a face). years later i saw him on tv performing and a couple of years later i saw him here on flickr... he is both an e… Read more

my first memory of maapu was of him leaning against a water container in Aliya school. he was then known as plain mauroof . i was 3years old ( i have a very good long term memory and rarely forget a face). years later i saw him on tv performing and a couple of years later i saw him here on flickr... he is both an excellent singer and photographer whose voice i admire and whose pictures i envy. but he isnt best at these alone. when it comes to being generous and a being a friend he is one of the best you d come across. i am glad that i got to know him personally. Maapu you are one of the best dudes ive met

What can one say about you, Mauroof? Humm..... I'll give it a go: Mauroof is an amazing photographer!! But anyone who is looking here would know that already!!

What can one say about you, Mauroof? Humm..... I'll give it a go: Mauroof is an amazing photographer!! But anyone who is looking here would know that already!! And if they don't know that then they are either blind or stupid! His photos of the Maldives are absolutely stunning, his sunrise and sunset shots are extraordinary, his Tailand photos are phenomenal..... Everything in here is just magnificent! If you haven't seen them all, you should!! And when you do you will be able to see for yourself what an amazing photographer he is. His ability to find just the right composition and lighting is outstanding!! And you will also be able to see what type of person he is as well because his personality is in each of them!! From the moment that I've met Mauroof on flickr we have been pretty great flickr friends, and I hope to keep it that way!! So, thank you so very much Mauroof, for being such an amazing friend here in the wild world of flickr!!

Hmmm, what to say? I think everyone pretty much summed it up already! ^_^ Maapu is without a doubt a very talented artist; his awe inspiring photos speak for themselves and are more than comparable to the professional photographers I've studied at College.

Mappu is one of my good friend, he's king of sun-sets (no doubt here) I've always adore the beautiful pics he takes and everytime i see any wonderful pic on his page the first word that comes in my mouth is a big: "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW" His pics deserve all these "WOOOOWs".

Mappu is awesome friend and he's the main reason that i joined flickr. And those sunset images are my fav ones...simply amazing. Thank you for being great friend. and last but not the least: You and Hana make perfect couple. God bless you."

I am compelled and honoured to write my first testimonial in tribute to his glorious photography. When you first glimpse this photosteam, the quality,vibrancy and clarity of the work is what first grabs you, and pulls you straight in, and on closer inspection you feel the passion and wonder he has for the beautiful world that surrounds him, this is presented sometimes with humour and always with sensitivity. As an artist he nails it EVERY time and as a flickr friend (and husband lol), warm, fun and generous. If you havn't been through this photostream yet, you must, and those of you I see nodding in agreement as you read these words, you obviously know his work already. Maapu I look forward wholeheartedly to seeing much more from you, your photos for me are a warm and happy place to be, my flickr world wouldn't be as rich without you. Thankyou so much for sharing your world with us." Much love
