Spanish Flavor w/ Ms. Bolaños

So we picked up this spanish beauty and headed down to a beautiful private beach house/ resort for a fantastic photoshoot. I must stress that the location was beautiful! My model, makeup artist, Tracey, and my assistant, Nicholas all had a great and adventurous day. By ‘adventurous’, I mean, crossing bridges, wild HUGE geese, on the edge of cliffs etc. Fun times though. Check out the photos below.

International Surf Festival 2012

The Trinidad and Tobago Tourism Development Company (TDC) International Surf Festival 2012 (ISF12) was blessed with a weekend of excellent waves, beautiful weather, great entertainment, and most importantly world class performance surfing. The Surfing Association of Trinidad and Tobago hosted the event and welcomed surfers and officials from Australia, Barbados, Jamaica, United States, and Venezuela.

The visitors and locals were greeted by the best surf conditions the event has experienced in its 3-year history, with waves in the 5 to 7 foot range. These surf conditions provided the perfect platform for the pro surfers to express themselves with both high-flying aerial maneuvers and traditional power surfing, much to the amazement of the large crowd of spectators on hand.

Rally Trinidad 2012: Friday night in the pits

Lyden — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 20:34:52 +0000

The Rally Trinidad 2012 action started off at the Hasley Crawdford Stadium at around 4:00pm. All the cars and drivers gathered and awaited the official start of the weekend. As usual the venue was packed with fans and spectators, hungry for some rallying action. However, I chose to shoot this day differently, leaving out the actual night racing, and focusing more on the drivers and pit activity. I basically left the action photos for Saturday and Sunday. A special thanks to Robbie Cadiz for ‘bigging’ me up throughout the night, and another set of thanks to the rally drivers and navigators for letting me slap a LTP decal on their cars. Check out the photos!

Rally Trinidad 2012: Saturday & Sunday Action!

Lyden — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 20:07:21 +0000

On Saturday, Rally Trinidad 2012 consisted of a large number of stages, which were at Cedar Hill and Bronte. Bronte is probably one of my favourites with the massive jump, drivers who went ‘flat out’ got the biggest air. Check out the photos for that action! Rally Trinidad 2012, Sunday’s stages which consisted of Bronte, Reform and then the famous Saith Park stages in Chaguanas. The crowd was massive, and the action at a very high pace. The overall winners of RT 2012 were driver John Powell and navigator, Nicholas Telfer of the Subaru WRC car. A special thanks to Robert Cadiz for always bigging me up, and another set of thanks to all the rally drivers that allowed me to slap a LTP decal on their car.

Regatta 25.3.12

Lyden — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 23:25:21 +0000

This was another Powerboat Regatta event held by the TTPBA. All the high powered boats came out, such as Fire-One, Stampede, Monster, Alien and many more. As usual they got some insane air time, even getting their boats completely out the water. Some strong winds came in unexpectedly causing boats such as Stampede and Alien to get some crazy jumps. M vantage point was the jetty, so I was pretty far away. Next time I hope to get out on at boat, closer to the action. To top off the event their was a live band, Orange Sky, performing at the end. Excellent event, take a look at the photos!

Wakeboarding

Lyden — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 22:47:39 +0000

So as this weekend had no motorsport events, LTP was on the prowl for something to shoot. Luckily a small crew of wakeboarding enthusiasts were on the hunt for some waves, and LTP hopped on their ship. Backflips were attempted and high airtime was performed, looked like fun, but painful if you don’t get it right. Check out the photos!

Nina

Lyden — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 22:24:22 +0000

You may have seen her for Carnival 2011 and again in 2012. She was the tall exotic looking woman prancing about and having a great time at Trinidad’s Carnival. So it was only natural to have a go with the camera at this beautiful woman. This was a quick spur of the moment photoshoot as she had to fly out to return home. So look out for more photos when she visits again! And it just so happens she is German mixed with St. Lucian, wow, what a mix! Check out the photos.

Drag and Wind: Circuit Racing #2

Lyden — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 03:51:43 +0000

Autosport Racing held it’s second Drag and Wind event for 2012. The venue was jam-packed with highly modified vehicles, all racing at their hardest. With the two long straights then a couple corners, drivers had to navigate this course to get the best times in their groups. Their was also a really awesome drifting display from the members of DWO (Drift World Order) Also check www.trinituner.com for even more photos!

Trinidad Carnival Tuesday 2012

Lyden — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 23:43:23 +0000

Tuesday is the main day that all masqueraders and mas players come out in their full costume. We were on the main stage from as early as 6:00am, ready and excited to capture the action from the bands. First to cross the stage was the highly anticipated Harts, with all their ‘big-winged- costumes. The rest of the bands was amazing as well, with some of my personal favorites, Fantasy, Yuma and Spice! Unfortunately Tribe was unable to cross the main-stage, so there won’t be any photos of that band on this day, as we were based on the stage for most of the day. Be sure to look through all the photos, you may see yourself or your friends!
