Over 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. Team Dore supported the making of the images, Dore Model Aby-Jo who did her model training, and did the photo-shoot training and the Art Direction with bodyNsoul's Patrick Krolis, Stiletto Stylist Jurgen Joval who did her styling, Makeup Artist Samadhi Uiterloo from SAMADHI who did her make-up and Hair Artist Rosita Rijkland who did the hairstyling. From bodyNsoul Photography Patrick Krolis did the photography, supported by Partner Guillo Grant, who did the wide angle shots during the shoot. Partner Earvin Simons assisted during the shoot. Guillo also did the digi-teching during the day, while Earvin also did the first post processing, to which Patrick added the finishing touch. Fausto Fraser did the final QC check on the printed images and actually send one back to Patrick and Earvin for re-processing and printing. We added 7 images to her portfolio which are all shown here in shooting sequence. We wish Cher the best of luck on her quest for the crown of Miss India Worldwide 2010 in Durban, South Africa.cher 1

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.Patrick Krolis / bodyNsoul Photography 12.15.08 at 11:28 am Interesting as I use a similar approach on my folder organization. Yet I use a different approach on my file naming and export naming.

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.
