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.

St. George’s Cathedral in Georgetown: 43.5 meters of wood after the brick

St. George’s Cathedral in Georgetown, Guyana, is approximately 43.5 meters tall and is built of wood. Consecrated on November 8, 1894, it replaced a brick cathedral, completed in 1842, whose tower was deemed too heavy for its foundations. Its history is that of a building made of greenheart, a hardwood native to Guyana, which the diocese must continue to protect. In January 2015, Dean Paul Andrew Carto, rector of St. George’s Cathedral in Georgetown, Guyana, warned that the building’s problems would not be solved by barbecues and bake sales. That statement sums up the challenge facing this landmark. In Georgetown, St. George’s Anglican Church is a large, 43.5-meter-tall wooden structure, and wood requires constant maintenance. St. George’s Cathedral, a 43.5-meter-tall wooden structure in Georgetown St. George’s Cathedral in Georgetown, the capital of Guyana, stands on Church Street and is approximately 43.5 meters, or 143 feet, tall.

S6/10 – Stories of Caribbean Cinema, Dancehall, Memory, and Cuban Satire. Texts by Guillaume Robillard. Ciclic, 2026.

We’ve reached the halfway point of the series “Stories of Caribbean Cinema.” The first four episodes have spanned nearly three decades of cinema, from Cuba in the 1960s to productions from Martinique and Curaçao in the 1980s. This fifth installment moves into the 1990s with two films set in very different worlds. Euzhan Palcy’s *Siméon* delves into a Caribbean imagination where music, ghosts, and magical realism converge. Raoul Peck’s *The Man on the Quay* revisits François Duvalier’s dictatorship in Haiti through the eyes of a child. You are now reading the fifth episode in a series of ten. Four episodes have already been published on Richès Karayib, and five more will follow in this series through 2025. 1997: JAMAICA – “DANCEHALL QUEEN” BY RICK ELGOOD & DON LETTS Dancehall Queen is one of many Jamaican films that follow the formula established by *The Harder They Come* (Perry Henzell, 1972): Jamaican
