Fabian Vas

Fabian Vas (16 September 1979) was born in Paramaribo. Because of his love for adventure and being a true nature lover, he has found his passion in capturing the nature of Suriname in its purest form through audiovisual productions.

Fabian started with small tours where he brought – mainly Dutch – tourists to the jungle of Suriname. This is how his passion to see and discover new areas of Suriname and also to promote Suriname abroad, started to grow.

Taking photos has always been his hobby. With his Go-Pro camera or with a drone, he takes amazing pictures at various locations in Suriname. Locations deep in the inland that not everyone has access to. Fabian has become well known for his impactful images, both nationally and internationally. Yearly he produces beautiful calendars with these powerful pictures, promoting Suriname in such a way that the images make you feel the energy of Suriname’s abundant flora and fauna. In a recent article in de Ware Tijd, Edward Steins called him the “nature cinematographer Fabian Vas”.

His special connection with and love for Suriname’s untamable nature, combined with his large network in all areas in the inland of Suriname as well as abroad, makes that he is frequently being asked to work on all kinds of international media productions.
