ABOUT SLEEN

Obsessed either with all the possibilities offered by nature and with my passion for this art, I decided to improve my skills in portrait and nature photography.

Driven by this desire to go ever further, it was in Fotomatik (1) that I had the opportunity to bettering myself as a photographer by brilliantly following an intensive training from November to December 2017, as well as training sessions, seminars and many workshops during the years that followed.

(1) Fotomatik Haiti is an institution specialized in intensive training in Digital Photography.

At the same time, I also embrace other aspects of photography such as photographic reporting, weddings or storytelling.

I also completed my studies in Administrative Sciences and Communication, which represent two more feathers in my cap.

MY PROFESSION, MY PASSION

Thanks to this burning passion for Photography, I was able to create my own company “GraphixelHaiti” which provides graphic design and photography work to clients from all walks of life.

Over the past few years, I worked on different types of projects in Haiti but also in different countries of Latin America that required different skills and capacities.

MY QUALITIES

HUMBLE

FRIENDLY

PHILANTHROPIC

DETAIL-ORIENTED

FLEXIBLE

I want to open up my horizons to new challenges

MY WORK

My background

The coverage of more than 50 events, portrait photos, and a string of nature photos one more beautiful than the others.

My work carries inexorably the scent of rigor.

The service quality is my priority while respecting the imperatives, deadlines and expectations of my customers.

My achievements

Let me not be told that my scars are imperfections.

They awakened my unsuspected strength, the real weight of my beauty and my courage-ocean as great as it is deep.

Let me not be told that my scars are imperfections, they are part of my soul much more than they are part of my skin.

WHAT I LIKE

I express a strong interest in entrepreneurship, the design and manufacture of hair products, and above all, I am keen to develop my skills, I follow very closely the news and the latest photo processing software.

I am passionate about travelling and I really like to discover other cultures.

I take great pleasure in sharing my adventures through my photos with my followers on social media @sleenphotograpy.

AND IN THE CARIBBEAN

I wish I could highlight the exotic and tropical atmosphere in Haiti and other Caribbean countries.

I would like to be able to make a photographic directory that would possibly have the theme “The Caribbean in the tropics” or “The Caribbean under the sun”.

It will be considered a breviary or a guide for Caribbean tourists.

It will consolidate a collection of photos, some more captivating than others.

Bonaire: 3,700 hectares of salt marshes conceal a history of slavery

At the southern tip of Bonaire, a Dutch-speaking island in the Caribbean, the salt marshes stretch out in pink and white basins across nearly 3,700 hectares—thirteen percent of the island’s total area. This postcard view, photographed every year by thousands of visitors from the coastal road, hides a history dating back more than five centuries, the story of salt that shaped Bonaire’s economy and, for two hundred years, the lives of hundreds of enslaved people. Along EEG Boulevard, which runs along the southern coast of Bonaire, mountains of white salt come into view kilometers before you reach them. Each contains about 10,000 metric tons of salt that is 99.6% pure, piled nearly 15 meters high, with up to 200,000 metric tons stored at any given time. Their whiteness, so intense that you need to keep sunglasses handy, stands in stark contrast to the pink of the neighboring pools. The salt

European Heritage Days 2026: Martinique Opens Its Archives.

On September 15, at 5 p.m., the conference room of Martinique’s Cultural Affairs Department is already packed. Journalists, cultural leaders, organizations, artists, and heritage professionals have gathered to find out what the 43rd edition has in store. With just four days to go before the 2026 European Heritage Days , scheduled for September 19 and 20, this press conference already feels like a journey across Martinique—from its Creole huts to its lighthouses, from Saint-Pierre to the monuments we sometimes pass by without really noticing them. European Heritage Days 2026: A Lively Conference Johan-Hilel Hamel, Martinique’s director of cultural affairs, opened the meeting without putting on airs. He even warned that the evening would not be a long monologue. The conversation quickly began to flow. A representative from Les Trois-Îlets speaks, followed by Xavier Nicolas from the Directorate of the Sea, Philippe Villard from the Heritage Foundation, Florence Le Gal from

S3/10 – Stories of Caribbean Cinema: Two Perspectives on the Year 1980. Texts by Guillaume Robillard. Ciclic, 2026.

With this third episode, *Stories of Caribbean Cinema* moves into the 1980s. The first two installments covered Cuba, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, and Guadeloupe, from the 1960s through the emergence of Caribbean cinema. This time, two films made in the same year take radically different directions. In Jamaica, *Children of Babylon* explores romantic, sexual, and racial relationships with unusual freedom. In Guadeloupe, *Live Free or Die* draws on several centuries of history centered on the legacy of Commander Ignace. This article is the third installment in a series of ten. Two installments have already been published, and seven more will follow in this chronology of Caribbean cinema. 1980: JAMAICA – “CHILDREN OF BABYLON”, BY LENNIE LITTLE-WHITE This film is unique in Jamaican cinema and, more broadly, in Caribbean cinema as a whole. Far from the social deprivation of Kingston’s ghettos, in a villa in the countryside (complete with a swimming
