Marie Claire did her first fashion show last night in the beautiful Khazana restaurant.

Nacht van de Mode was om August 14 for the first time in Paramaribo. It promised in its advertisements to be a spectacular show of store brands, lingerie and the introduction of the new Claire & Co's new designer label.

More about the designers can be found at www.daphnevandenheuvel.nl while more on the event can be found on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Paramaribo/Nacht-van-de-Mode-Paramaribo/144391178911020?ref=mf&__a=69&ajaxpipe=1

Nacht van de Mode 1

Cher MarchandOver the past 6 months we have been working closely with the current Miss India Suriname, Cher Marchand. from the first webprofile shoot at the beginning of the contest on October 3, 2009, to her final portfolio shoot with us before she left for the Worldwide Contest in Durban 2 weeks ago, till the final assembly of her portfolio in the early hours yesterday.

In the final portfolio shoot we did 4 looks in one Sunday, starting in the early morning and finishing up just after dark.

At this moment the client galleries are spread over 2 domains, bodynsoulphotography.com and users.patrickkrolis.com. This split has a historical background, as I started out with patrickkrolis.com long before bodynsoulphotography and had a good solution to protect client galleries there. The only downside was the limited space available on that server.

I have tried to minimize the usage of that space by having people with an aacount at www.bodynsoulmodels.com login at this website with their credentials and thus protecting their websites hosted at this www.bodynsoulphotography.com domain.

On his blog http://blog.ericscouten.com/2008/10/lightroom-technique-how-i-organize-m... Eric Scouten shares how he uses his lightroom catalog and why. A very interesting subject to read if you are a photographer and use lightroom. I am using a similar apporach and placed the following comment under his post.

Tasty Fridayzz Flyer front Tasty Fridayzz is a new party event to be held every friday in the Havanna Lounge in Paramaribo.

Of course bodyNsoul Photography provided the photography for the flyer featuring Dore Model Charlene, in a Tasty Fridayzz way.

bodyNsoul Photography is a co-sponsor of the event and will provide special photographic opportunities to the party goers at some specific events. Tasty Fridayzz and bodyNsoul Photography will provide party goers also with unique cross promotional opportunities throughout the year.

Speciale aandacht voor Ron Flu op NK 2008

door Bonnie van Leeuwaarde

30/10/2008

Paramaribo - Op de 43ste Nationale Kunstbeurs wordt het podium speciaal ingeruimd voor kunstenaar Ron Flu. Hij wordt volgend jaar namelijk 75 jaar. “Dit jaar gaan we speciale aandacht besteden aan Ron Flu”, zegt Thea Valk, lid van de Stichting Nationale Kunstbeurs.

So finally tonight, my first participation at the Nationale Kunstbeurs (National Art Fair) the annual, oldest and most respected gathering or artist in Suriname.

I am participating with 3 older works, all Fine Art Nudes that have been shot in 2005. The reason for this selection is mostly a very personal and probably emotional one.

Back when I made this work it was censored by my then employer and I was prohibited in participating or showing my work in an exhibition or on the web. When left the company in 2006, I decided that it was time to show the work in the artfair/exhibition, but somehow, I had not managed to register in time for the event.

For a long time I have been blogging alone on this website. For that I simply used the Administrator account. Mixing website news with photography news. From today on that will be different for a very special reason.

My friend and fellow photographer, and indispensable assistant on critical shoots, is joining me on the bodyNsoul Photography journey.

He will still be shooting on his own as well, under his Faustography brand (www.faustography.shutterchance.com) and under his LUSTIG EVENT Photography brand (www.lustig-events.com).

But we start doing a beautiful project together under the bodyNsoul Photography brand, here come "The bodyNsoul Photography Sunshine Sessions"

Finally I took the time to reorganize the galleries into something more of what it was supposed to be in the first place. While still not totally satisfactory, I prefer it very much the way it is now.

I should be uploading most of the Freelance work I have done over the past year into the Freelance photography over the next week or so.

I also can now start preparing my stock images, even though I still have to think of the proper way to offer them for sale.

...

Modeling and Modeling photography, especially of the commercial kind need a boost in Suriname. More structure, more quality, more knowledge, and more use of local models by local commercial clients.

That is why I started www.bodynsoulmodels.com. To foster a communiy and make dreams possible for models, photographers, makeup artists and more in Suriname.

This month the website passed passed the 100 members barrier. At the time 3 makeup artists, 8 photographers and 89 models.

Reason to celebrate...
