#THROWBACKTHURSDAY: Matematica Fashion Shoot (2010)
In December 2009, I opened a fashion boutique called “Matematica” in the Bloempot Shopping Centre
in Curaçao. It sold men’s and women’s fashion. In early 2010 I did a fashion shoot for promotional purposes, focussing on the female side of the store’s fashion.
#THROWBACKTHURSDAY: Manhunt International 2007
In my previous life on the island of Curaçao, I was a licensee of various international male and female beauty and modelling competitions. One of these was Manhunt International, whose head-offices are based in Singapore. The 2007 edition of Manhunt International was held in South Korea. As I accompanied my delegate, I took the opportunity to photograph the participants. This was one of my first forays into fashion photography.
Up, Up and Away on a Farnborough Day
This year it was once again time for the Bi-Annual Farnborough International Airshow. An interesting event for people in the trade and aficionado’s. Here are some images to whet your appetite for the 2016 Show.
“The Internal State of Men”, “Rapture”, “In a Different Light”, et al
Last thursday was the very successful private view of our End of Year Show “Hidden Rivers“. Numerous visitors were on hand to admire the varied and interesting array of works presented by the Class of 2014, BTEC National Diploma in Photography, of the Kensington and Chelsea College. The 2014 End of Year Show Photography Prize was won by the talented and creative Gesine Garz, whom I had the honour of modelling for many times during the past year.
For those of you who have not yet visited our exhibition, I present my contribution.
This is a series entitled “The Internal State of Men”, created in 2014, a group of portraits inviting you to identify the internal state of the model.

- Rapture
The title of this picture, inspired by the oeuvre of Sarah Moon, should speak for itself.
I also included some images familiar to the visitors of this blog, “The Dowager” and “The View, Horizontally“. The photo of “Los Espantos de Baldí” was included in the post about the colours of Costa Rica.
The final image I submitted to the Exhibition was one taken during my fashion shoot. It was created using my very own technique of rescuing photos which would otherwise be discarded. I call the photo “In a Different Light”.
If you like what you see and you are within the “neighbourhood”, stop by and visit our show.
#THROWBACKTHURSDAY (Images created before this blog existed)
For this first #throwbackthursday post, I present to you my series “The Crowns of London”, shot in the Autumn of 2012.
Upon moving to London in August 2011, one of the first things I noticed is that you find representation of crown all over the cities, in many guises and forms. I gather that the British take their royalty very serious and it makes a perfect to decorate the city. So please enjoy the images and I look forward to your comments.
