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.

Katrina and Jerrold

Today is Valentine’s Day. Last week I had a photoshoot session with two young couple who are very much in love with each other and nope they are not getting married soon. They just wanted to have this photoshoot for them to enjoy. It was cool. It is a great idea for a date. Anyhow, I told Katrina to write something about the shoot so that I could also post it along with the photos. It was a great day, nice people to work with, guess it was one of those happy days that nothing seems to go wrong.

Being young, carefree and in love is something worth savoring. You never pass this way again. Not quite grown up yet to say it’s an engagement, but not too juvenile to say it’s just some fling. Every snapshot is a moment frozen in time. A fleeting moment that soon becomes a memory and to be able to capture the essence of your love and youth in a photograph is an arm’s length short of magic. So before t-shirts are traded in for ties, school books are traded in for taxes and we’re somewhere in between young love and forever, we might as well ham it up for the cameras and let loose.
