Certificates don’t mean much in this field. What matters is what you can actually do—how you push boundaries and prove you’ve got what it takes. That’s exactly why I’m putting this out. Behind Glass Doors is my way of showing the work I did for Sun Siyam Olhuveli, all while not officially being employed as a content creator. It was never about the title; it was about the results. My work was visible—like something behind glass doors—and it spoke louder than any certificate ever could. And honestly, it felt really good seeing my shit out there. This is my proof of excellence. No title, just results.

ASTRO-FEST

The 7-day New Year’s event was nothing short of a spectacle. Picture this: a singer who looked like she stepped out of a cartoon, channeling Jessica Rabbit's energy. Then there was the belly dancer, weaving through the crowd with grace, and the trio dancing with fire, lighting up the night in ways that felt almost surreal. Every performance was an opportunity to capture something raw and dynamic, to show the magic behind these moments. Not to mention the vibe set by the two DJs one Asian, one Black; each bringing their own flavor to the crowd, keeping the energy high all night. Now, I’m kinda known for my party photos, and this one was no exception, even with the rain pouring down. No camera coat, no protection, RAW both the camera and its products, just me and the gear. My boss didn’t get us any, On top of shooting everything for the event, I also made the video and was in charge of all the content for TUI Blue Olhuveli Romance. but I knew what I was working with. I understand how much it can take, even when the conditions aren’t ideal. Every performance, every moment was an opportunity to capture something raw and dynamic, to show the magic behind these moments. But it wasn’t just about getting the shots it was about telling the story of the night, turning each frame into a part of a bigger picture, one that would leave an impression long after the last firework faded.

ASTRO-CHRISTMAS

Christmas at Olhuveli was a chaos in the best way Santa in shades, candy canes melting in the sun, and me running around making sure every shot hit. I was in charge of capturing the whole thing, photos and video for TUI Blue Olhuveli Romance, no time to stop, just moving, framing, shooting. The final edit came together clean quick cuts, bright reds popping against the blues, that perfect balance of holiday cheer and tropical heat.

And somewhere in between all that, well… let’s just say not every moment made it to the reel. Some memories stay behind the lens.

From capturing the vibrant energy of Cultural Day to the relaxed ambiance of Movie Night, my work at Sun Siyam Olhuveli showcases the diversity of resort life. One moment is rich with tradition and movement, while another highlights the unique atmosphere of an open-air cinema under the stars. Each event had its own rhythm, and my goal was to preserve those moments exactly as they were immersive, dynamic, and unforgettable.

All images and videos were captured using a Canon R6 with a 24-70mm and 70-200mm lens. Photos were edited in Lightroom and Photoshop, utilizing my custom color profile named LodoicaByBark for consistency and tone. Videos were recorded in C-Log and processed in DaVinci Resolve for maximum dynamic range and post-production flexibility.
