Launch party of FLASHERZ photographic hire, Colombia
As a side project I have been working on the launch of a company with photo equipment rentals for a while now. At the end of August we officially launched the company with a huge event that even got on the news.
The idea was born during a shoot in Istanbul, Turkey last year, where I needed equipment to shoot with and found out it was impossible to get. I realized that any foreign photographer coming to Colombia would run into the same problem. With my photographer friend Salvatore Salamone we often joked about how the two of us together had enough equipment to supply Colombia in its entirety. Of course I took it serious and got all the professional photo equipment anybody could ever dream of...
We have even become the official importers and distributors of Profoto and Hasselblad for Colombia and Ecuador, and are now doing equipment sales as well. At the moment we are looking for a space to start building professional photo studios as they do not exist here either.
Other Photos
of the Month:
PHOTO OF THE MONTH

The
'photo of the month' is not meant as something pretentious, it is not
even chosen by any jury. It could be an advertising photo I did, or a
photo for a magazine or record cover. Something telling you of a journey
I made or the city I'm in. Or a snapshot of my girlfriend. The only criterium
it has to meet is that it was made in the last month. And that I believe
it is worth bothering you with...
I am very sorry for the not-very-personal tone and character of this mail
- you may or may not remember me, we might have met in some sleazy bar
in some part of the earth and exchanged emails, we might be colleagues
or best friends, or just share an interest in photography. We might have
worked or even lived together in the past.
Of course, if you would not like to receive any more mails just let me
know and I will remove you from the list.
And if you know of other people that might like to receive it please let
me know as well...
Thanks for your time and hope you are well!
