I have worked with Khatleen on variety of photo-sessions while being in Mauritius and I should say she is one of the most talented, fast learning, responsible and open minded artists in her country.

In a year, she transformed from an amateur photographer who was assisting me to one of the leading photographers in Mauritius.

This is due to her talent, passion and hard work. Not to mention the ease of communication you will face while working with her.

I was lucky enough to know Khatleen when she made her first steps in photography. Even with limited camera gear at that time, she had the eye for capturing beauty. It is no surprise that she is one of the best portrait and fashion photographers in Mauritius today.

During the recent Ravior photoshoot where I was the model, she was professional, gave appropriate directions and had a clear concept in mind.

I would highly recommend her if you want someone talented, organised and easy-going whether it is to capture a memorable moment or to make a fantastic addition to your portfolio.

Khatleen is a very talented freelance photographer gifted with a very unique visual sense.

If anyone was to ask, I would only have high recommendations to speak of her.

Khatleen, je n’arrivais pas à imaginer ce que les photos allaient donner, mais je peux te dire que ton travail est bien au-delà de ce que j’aurais pu imaginer et souhaiter !

Il n’existe pas de mots assez forts dans la langue française pour décrire à quel point nous sommes émerveillés par ton talent et contents. Tu as immortalisé ce moment magique et nous avons l’impression d’y être encore.

Vraiment bravo, mes parents également te félicitent! Et moi vraiment je te remercie pour ces photos magiques qui montrent bien l’instant présent, les actions, les émotions, l’amour et autre…

Merci mille fois Khatleen, tu es incroyablement talentueuse, gentille, douce et humaine. Je te souhaite d’aller très loin dans ton domaine!

Khatleen Minerve will always remain one of the most talented, creative, and respected photographers that I have ever worked with. Her willingness to pursue her vision, no matter the challenge, reflects in the magical moments she captures in her photographs.

As a model, I adore the amiable and professional atmosphere Khatleen creates with her captivating personality and straightforward directions.

As a fan, I am always eager to be inspired by Khatleen’s latest work and to be spellbound by its beauty.

But most importantly, as a friend, I can vow that despite the seemingly effortless perfection, Khatleen works incredibly hard at determining the artistic direction of the shoot, capturing the moment she envisioned, and producing the ultimate end product.

It is this unfaltering passion and determination that drives her and her success. The only reproach I have is that whenever we are on set and Khatleen finds something funny, her infectious laughter leaves everyone around unable to compose themselves, especially the model!

Now enough of reading, let her photos speak for themselves.

Ballerina

J’étais assez nerveuse à l’idée de travailler avec Khatleen au départ, mais je dois dire qu’elle m’a tout de suite mise à l’aise lorsque nous nous sommes rencontrées la première fois pour le shoot « Street Ballerina». C’était un thème dont nous avions pas mal discuté, et aussi un projet qui nous intéressait beaucoup toutes les deux ! J’aime le fait que Khatleen et moi avons fusionné nos idées, et il faut dire que c’était un projet qui me tenait beaucoup à cœur, étant une danseuse de ballet.

C’est un véritable plaisir de collaborer avec une photographe dotée d’un tel talent d’autant plus qu’elle a, une personnalité adorable! Le shoot s’est passé à merveille, par contre ma difficulté résidait dans les poses de ballet à tenir pendant suffisamment de temps pour prendre les photos jusqu’ à obtenir le résultat voulu!

J’ai eu l’occasion de collaborer avec Khatleen une deuxième fois pour un shoot plus « mode. » Les poses étaient bien plus faciles à tenir évidemment ! Mais personnellement, l’expérience était formidable! Rien qu’ à voir le résultat, on ne croirait même pas que c’est moi dans les photos, tellement que c’est beau!

N’hésitez surtout pas si vous avez la chance de travailler avec Khatleen, c’est une expérience à ne pas rater ! Vous serez é b l o u i s.

Travailler avec Khatleen était vraiment un plaisir : c’était amusant et intéressant.
Je n’avais pas beaucoup d’expérience dans ce domaine et elle a réussi à me mettre totalement à l’aise devant la caméra.

Pendant le shoot, elle était professionnelle, mais, en même temps, il y avait de la place pour des petites rigolades.

Khatleen est une vraie artiste ; cela se voit bien sûr dans les photos qu’elle produit, mais elle est aussi une personne extrêmement gentille à qui tu peux toujours lui faire confiance.

Khatleen photographed our wedding on the 20th of October 2017 and she was just what we wanted. In the before shoot, she was warm and charming to ease the tension and create natural shots. She was discreet in the church, yet still managed to take lots of photos. At the reception, she was so professional, yet at the same time being warm and friendly. She even managed to wrangle some less willing members of the family into having the group photos taken.

All the photos we have received so far are excellent and we can’t wait to receive the edited shots.

We would definitely recommend Khatleen without hesitation.

Outstanding time and photos for our wedding/marriage celebration

Rated 5.0 out of 5
March 1, 2024

We got married earlier in the year abroad and then had a party in Mauritius for those who weren’t able to make the wedding. This was still a very special occasion for us and we wanted to have it documented. Therefore, we were on the lookout for a good photographer. Through family who had worked with her before, we were able to get in contact with Khatleen who was highly recommended. Although she was booked up before taking time off for personal reasons, she was willing to fit us in.

Khatleen has a magnificent personality and a good sense of humour. From the moment we met her, which was just on the day of shooting the photos, she was nice, easy-going and open-minded, which immediately made us comfortable. She was able to find some great spots to take some nice portrait photos before everyone arrived. Her eye for a good shot resulted in some marvellous natural pictures and made the most of the beauty of Mauritius. Also, she gave us helpful, clear and straightforward directions that put us at ease and made it easier to get into the poses she had in mind. Once she’d spent a little time with us she figured out what she could do with us, what we’d be up to give a go and what might be fun to try out.

She also found out exactly what we wanted to get out of the occasion. We were able to get pictures we’d missed on our actual wedding day. We were over the moon to get those special shots (first look, certain family pictures, pictures with each table at dinner etc.) this time around. Despite being a one-woman band and the challenge of limited sunlight left when we began, she moved fast and captured so many moments over the few hours she was with us. She was very accommodating of letting relatives take their photos around her too.

For this memorable event she was the best addition and we’re glad we managed to book her. We were very happy with the end product. The photos look magical, reflect our personalities and really capture the essence of the event. We ended up with quite a number of pictures too, which was a pleasant surprise.

Khatleen is clearly a very talented, passionate and hard-working professional. She puts a lot of thought, respect and energy into her job. She maintained open communication with us throughout the process and was organised.

We had a lovely experience working with her, were satisfied with the way the shoot went and loved the photos. Khatleen is fantastic, creative and gifted with the unique natural ability to capture a special moment.
