Attractive Female Photo Models:
As I sometimes get job requests from local clients and also from overseas for different staged scenes with a model - I sometimes need to hire models for my work.
I had a list of several models done before Maria, but it is totally outdated.

If you are potentially interested in modeling work here in DM, please send me private message and a photo. I will send you a quick list of photo styles for you to consider (to know what genres you prefer), and when a job comes our way I will give priority to those on my list.
If you want to be on front of camera, like quality of my works, and some extra $, message me. This is not a promise of job, but it may help to get there.
Thank you.

PS.
I also look for those models appreciating creative works and willing to work for my art photography that later is submitted to international exhibitions and competitions. These are modeling in exchange for ready images that you would treasure for life. Let me know if you are interested in these too.

I spent my birthday editing backlogged some creative works. What could be better? For me - at least - it was fun...

Pigs anyone? Pigs are fun, smart, and love playing in water. I always wanted to swim with pigs, as seen on some video clips from brazil, i think. So, here is my take on pigs in two styles.
i am continuing advanced experiments with AI as tool for creative images. while i sometimes need to do touch-ups using digital painting pad and photoshop, I am finding my ways to make exactly what I want, in exactly the style i want, and with details exactly as imagined.
If you need images for promotion of your company - big or small - lets do something together. Photography, video, or digital ai images. I can also help you with ideas - just keep in mind they may be a bit on crazy side (if you accept :-)

something for our rainy evening. a twisted fashion presentation...

working creatively with film photography, film video, digital photography and video, digital art using photoshop, painting tablet, AI, and other tools - I am always after a precise image that comes to my mind before I start, and whichever techniques and tools - i take time to create these images to match my idea and style. Always a challenge - but then so much fun to see it worked.

And here is another one - a painterly image with fresh parsley green and earthy browns. When you put parsley in blender with a bit of olive oil it will stay this colour for a long time - a tip for cooks, beautiful decor! put on top of chopped tomatoes and olives for a colour symphony!).
Back to this image - a cooking scene with a young caribbean lady in somewhat decorative style dress this time. i was after this vibrant color blend, dynamics, energy, beauty of the lady, natural looking light, and a slightly surreal upbeat feel.

Thanks for checking my work. If you need image of you, or for you/your business - I am always happy to assist. Lets discuss the idea, setup, tools - and do it.

after several killer days producing a video for corporate client in express time - as antidote I had to do something more creative, something for myself to unwind...
Hot Caribbean summer days - a nap while washing... I hope it gives the mood I intended and tells a story... You know i am always about a story, whatever I do... (If you need to tell a visual story about your work or business, I will be happy to assist).

I've been very quiet on FB recently. Working a lot for clients who did not wish to have any work shown on FB, such as BBC for example. So, i only shared what close to my heart, not posting any new work.

But with last major job being tackled now- I would like to refresh my image on FB. I will do several posts for those who do not know my main work, those who kind of forgot - and also for those who know and like seeing it.

And with that last major job - space opens for new opportunities. If you need a visual boost for your property/business - send me a message and lets book it.

I do product/food photography and video, nature, weddings, AI advertising - but mainly I specialize in fine creative portraits and architecture / real estate of high-end properties/resorts that need to be seen on international market, and creative, artistic promo videos.

So, I will post a mix of these, some of my fav shots from the past.
Coming soon to FB near you.

Seasons Greetings!
Proverbs 12:10: "The righteous one has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel."

I am proud to support St. Nicholas Animal Rescue and to be one of volunteers.
If you agree with this cause, share the love! Share this post! Let more people learn about important work done by this fine Dominica's Charity.

Happy Christmas from me and other volunteers of St. Nicholas Animal Rescue and rescued animals - to you and your family!
This is a perfect Season to reflect on the fact that we all are God's creatures. We should help and support each other including animals. We are One! We all feel pain, we all look for happiness.

Psalm 145:9: "The Lord is good to all, and his compassion is over all that he has made."
Proverbs 12:10: "The righteous one has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel."

Well, lets distinguish what is right and wrong, lets practice what we preach. I commit to share even more compassion to all creatures - be it brothers and sisters humans - or animals in our care.

As Gandhi famously said: "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated."
I am proud to support St. Nicholas Animal Rescue and to be one of volunteers.

By the way - If you need unusual images your business - I am right here for you.

Your Caribbean property is a unique and special place. It's where people create memories with loved ones, relax and unwind, and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
To capture the true beauty of your property, you need a photographer who understands its unique character and charm, also being fluent in all techniques and editing.

I am a European veteran photographer with over 40 years of experience living now in Dominica, a Fellow of RPS who worked with the world's top clientele, including hotels, resorts, properties, and photographing nature. For the past 14 years, I specialized in Caribbean photography and video. Working from Jamaica, through Martinique, Barbados and many other islands up to Honduras, I have a deep understanding of the unique beauty of the Caribbean, and know how to capture it in a way that is both stunning and authentic.

Whether you're looking for photos of your property, food or product to showcase on your website or in marketing materials, or you're looking for a video to promote your property to potential guests, I can create images and videos that will truly showcase the best of your Caribbean property.
It is more than just pretty pictures. It's a powerful marketing tool that can help you to:
Attract new customers
Increase brand awareness
Boost sales
Build trust and credibility
In a difficult economy, it's more important than ever to invest in high-quality marketing materials. And there's nothing more effective than top quality artistic photography and video.

While I am available throughout the Caribbean, I offer a special pricing in Dominica - to assist even with a small project or start-up. See my bio at ArtPhotographyServices.com and send message to discuss and book your session. Thank you!

Portraits, anyone?
Good news is that I have a portable generator - and even with Domlec woes I can do perfectly lit portraits - be it a studio setup or outdoors. This is what I do. For many many years.
Creative portraits, corporate for portfolio or CV, family events, fashion/models/performers, fantasy - I am ready when you are. Lets do something funky to up your game.
(But how about a corporate portrait of Domlec CEO lit by several candles? I may do it for free now, let me just post it.)

I just stumbled on some old photos from 13 or 14 years ago, when we went on inter-Caribbean trips, photographing and interviewing for our coffee table Caribbean books.
Very memorable travels and lots of sweat but also fun.
Here are just a few locations - something from Jamaica, something from Grenada, Barbados, and several places in St Lucia...
What a fun tour it was...
