On October 01, 2011, at 3pm, I entered ZEN at Anamoestraat in Paramaribo North, where the makeup artists and hair stylists of ZEN were busy with the preparations of the 9 MISS INDIA SURINAME 2011 candidates. Everything looked in place for the photoshoot later that day and I left to make preparations for their first photoshoot. The Miss India Suriname candidates arrived around 6 pm from their preparations at Zen. Winston Pinas and Josh Fernandes had setup studio in room 311 under guidance from Guillo Grant. When I arrived at 5 I only had to setup my camera and laptop. Everything else was in place.
Room 311 The room was transformed in a studio, with the contestants waiting in the back, the laptops in the front and the studio lighting in the middle
We were joined a few minutes later by Cher Marchand, she assisted the new contestants with their first photoshoot invited by bodyNsoul Photography.
