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.
