Last week I went to some Red Carpet event at LA Fashion Week. It’s always nice to see new talent present their work.
And it’s also interesting to see all these people surrounding these new talents popping up as guides to richness, fame and glory. Or at least I hope that’s what they bring.
Check out Li Cari’s show somewhere on YouTube. You’ll like the pre-presentation for sure.

Dawn Olivieri by Mike Van Cleven (MIKEVANCLEVEN.COM)
Well, how time flies by!
About 2 years ago I was doing a glamour series for MAXIM magazine and I headed out to California to catch up with some friends of mine who are also in the photo, film and advertising industry. The plan we had was to shoot 1 model per day so we got hold of a couple of model agencies and scouts, did some castings and started planning our shoots.
One of these models was Dawn Olivieri. Her book was great! She had tons of experience and we loved her immediately.
Now 2 years later Dawn has been making it successfully as an actress. Since I met her, she has appeared on CSI, Las Vegas, Veronica Mars and Stargate Atlantis.
Quite fun to take a stroll down memory lane like this …

Paradise, originally uploaded by Mike Van Cleven.
With the weather we’ve been having lately, I thought it was time to share some more memories. One you can actually dream of this time.

Tahitian traditional dance, originally uploaded by Mike Van Cleven.
Full of color, full of power… that’s Tahitian dance rituals. Great to see… A bit goofy to do if you’re inexperienced (shaking those knees)
I was able to freeze the little girls movements during this celebration dance, while the older girls were dancing their hearts out.

The deamons of Moorea, originally uploaded by Mike Van Cleven.
One day in Tahiti, as the night was falling, the sky ignited and we were treated on a beautiful spectacle: a seemed like volcano eruption on Moorea. “Seemed like”. Actually the cloud formations and the low sun created this dazzling sight.
My memories of Tahiti…

Tahitian traditional dance, originally uploaded by Mike Van Cleven.
Around this time last year, I was returning from a production trip in French Polynesia. During the first night, we were treated on some local culture with a traditional Tahitian dance performance.
It was a treat for the eye to experience a piece of this glorious tradition. As the sun had already set, we used low angle set flashes directed right at the movement.
I’ll share some more of these shots and memories in upcoming posts.
