Last Sunday I went out photowalking with a friend of mine and at the end of the day, we stopped at the J.A. Wijdenbosch bridge (over the Suriname river in Suriname) to take some pictures of the sunset there. The view of the bridge and the view from the bridge can be really beautiful and dramatic at sunset. Standing at … Continue reading

It was about time I did another photography update on my blog. About a week ago I had the opportunity to do another shoot with a model. Nothing too fancy, just a simple shoot for her portfolio. It was her first time modeling, and I think she has great potential. The shoot lasted for about 5 hours, including the time for me to set up my … Continue reading

I recently completed an assignment for one of the directors of Torarica Group of Hotels. He wanted a picture of the building of each of the 3 hotels that they manage to put on one of the walls in his office. The only requirement he had was that the pictures had to be in black and white and I had to … Continue reading

After a rather long while I was able to take some of my free time again last Sunday and spend it on an afternoon of photography.

Last Sunday I had the great opportunity again to do a photoshoot for one of my clients involving a nice model. The last time I did a photoshoot involving models was a while ago, and you can read about that here. This latest shoot was a nice experience overall, learned a lot again. The only problem I had was waking … Continue reading

Back in February I had the opportunity to do a photoshoot for one of my clients involving the winner and first runner-up of the Miss India Suriname Pageant which was held in October 2006. It was another all day long shoot, but was surprisingly less exhausting than the previous one I did. While I was busy setting up my equipment, … Continue reading

It’s been a while since my last post on my photography adventures and I thought it was time for another update. I’ve postponed this for a few weeks now and today I finally said to myself “If you don’t put up this post today, you’re not allowed to view the rest of the Matrix Trilogy DVDs you still need to … Continue reading

If you’ve browsed around the Art section of my website, you probably already know I’m also into photography. Mostly just as an amateur and for my own projects. I’m really more interested in software engineering, and that’s what I do most of the time, but there are many other things I also do. Sometimes it’s so difficult to explain to … Continue reading
