sliver [?sl?v?] – 1. A slender piece cut, split, or broken off; a splinter.

The shoot was about breaking free from doing the usual shoot. The idea was doing a fashion type photoshoot but the photos portray not the clothes they wear but the emotion and the feelings the pictures gives you.

This was a visual art side project I had after I was invited by Essa and Mai of a photo shoot they had in mind. Essa and Mai are close friends of mine who came up with a nice and unique idea for a shoot.  Their idea was inspired from the yin yang symbol and also to make do of simple garments for them to wear and it was my part on how to interpret their idea and make it like a high fashion shoot. My aim was to take their picture and direct them in such a way people will see first the emotions and the poses they did before the people realizing that they are only wearing simple linens.

We would like to thank club TILT management for giving us full use of the club area.
