CONTRIBUTORS
Khalil Goodman
Khalil Goodman’s photography combines classic
lighting and fresh ideas. This combination has
won him mass appeal and work in advertising
and fashion. When he’s not art directing a new
set of images, Khalil spends too much time
reading comic books and listening to all the
wrong music at the right volume.

Carlie Ester
Carlie came of age ferociously scribbling through
blank notebooks and precociously defying authority.
These days she’d rather read the thesaurus than
advocate chaos, and probably spends too much of
her time running in circles. Carlie purports herself
to be an athlete, radio announcer and professional
writer - read on and you may find evidence to
support at least one of these claims.

Laura Lin
Hutchinson

Mike Toy
Mike developed his interest in photography
while living and working in the Canadian Rockies
in the early 1980’s. Specialising in architecture
and interiors he has photographed over four
hundred of the region’s most prestigious hotels,
resorts and private residences. Mike has also
photographed lifestyle, fashion, food and
underwater images and to date has published
nine books. Visit his work at www.miketoy.com

Natasha
Simpson
Natasha wears many hats - interior decorator,
social media consultant, blogger and writer. It
was through her blog (lovedesignbdos.com) that
she gained a greater appreciation for writing and
was afforded exciting new opportunities, such as
working with Living Barbados. She says “I was
especially thrilled to meet and interview Halla
Elias for this edition”.

Corie Elcock
Although possessing a background in fine art and
design, photography emerged as Corie’s chosen
discipline. Whether painting his subjects with
dynamic lighting or conjuring classic concepts this
award winning artist executes with meticulous
detail and precision. His experience and creative
energy is a valuable asset to any team. When
he’s not behind the lens Corie also shares a
passion for a game of chess.

Sofie Warren

Laura Lin has been a freelance feature writer
since the 90s writing for many local and regional
glossies. She has also written and produced a
couple of short films including the award winning
“Holding On”. Otherwise Laura Lin teaches meditation and follows Buddhist and Shamanic paths.

Julie Chalbaud

Daphne
Ewing-Chow

The arts is an extension of who I am as an
individual! I am passionate about photography,
styling, interior design and furniture design.
The Living Barbados team in conjunction with
Diamonds International was a great pairing to
work with on this beauty shoot featuring the
“Honey Jam Girls”. We were privileged to have
been able to select exquisite jewelry from Cartier,
Chopard and John hardy for the girls to wear.

Sofie has a unique style of photography which
captures images in a beautiful, natural way
and this is evident in the stunning photos she
took for our Entertaining Inspiration article
with Dwellings Design Studio. Regardless of
whether there is a shoot on the books or not,
Sofie keeps her camera in tow because in her
words “inspiration is everywhere!”

Any artist will tell you that the most enjoyable
form of expression will occur when you are able
to latch on to the energy of your subject- to
absorb it. I thank Alene Krimholtz and Howard
Palmer, organizers of the Mount Gay Round
Barbados Race Series for sharing their infectious passion for sailing with me. It was truly a
pleasure to “take it all in”and to write this piece
for Living Barbados magazine.
