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.

Earlier in my blog I told you that I had a wedding coverage in Camiguin that went ballistic, which I meant is the weather. It was raining so hard during the wedding day, most of all my ideas that I have thought of before we went to Camiguin, which I plan to do was not done. Well, in that case, that is what also happened during this engagement shoot.
The night after the wedding day I covered, I texted my client that the weather in Camiguin is gloomy and rain is very frequent, as what one of the residents there told me. But my client assured me, as she had checked on Pag-asa’s forecast, those days after, it will be sunny. True enough, when Sunday came, it was all sunny. It was a good sign. Our shoot was scheduled for Wednesday that same week and we were really planning to get a sunrise shoot. So to carry out our idea, we travelled a day before so as to be prepared for next day’s shoot. It was all sunny when we travelled going to Camiguin. I was getting excited to do the shoot the next day because it was also one of my dreams to shoot a couple in a sunrise scene in White Island, Camiguin. We set-up alarms that would wake us by 5am so that we would be in white island before sunrise. It was around 4am when we were woken up by heavy rain. Our hopes of getting that sunrise shot also poured along with the rain.
But the rain doesn’t matter actually. The point is, we were there, I’m fired up to taking pictures, my couple is also fired up for the shoot whatever happens. So we decided to still go on with our plan, and luckily we managed to have a nice photoshoot there with occasional drizzles. Their laughter was the key to success. We laughed our hearts content the whole time. And just as my previous post, even the weather can’t stop the happiness of two couples who are in love.

Smiles and laughter + Bon Aserios = 2 | Rainy weather = 0

‘Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form.
“Come in,” she said,
“I’ll give you shelter from the storm.”

And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured
I’ll always do my best for her, on that I give my word
In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm.
“Come in,” she said,
“I’ll give you shelter from the storm.”

-
Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved.
Try imagining a place where it’s always safe and warm.
“Come in,” she said,
“I’ll give you shelter from the storm.”

I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,
Poisoned in the bushes an’ blown out on the trail,
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.
“Come in,” she said,
“I’ll give you shelter from the storm.”

Suddenly I turned around and she was standin’ there
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair.
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
“Come in,” she said,
“I’ll give you shelter from the storm.”
-

-

-
Now there’s a wall between us, somethin’ there’s been lost
I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed.
Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn.
“Come in,” she said,
“I’ll give you shelter from the storm.”

I’ve heard newborn babies wailin’ like a mournin’ dove
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love.
Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn?
“Come in,” she said,
“I’ll give you shelter from the storm.”

In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes
I bargained for salvation an’ they gave me a lethal dose.
I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn.
“Come in,” she said,
“I’ll give you shelter from the storm.”

Well, I’m livin’ in a foreign country but I’m bound to cross the line
Beauty walks a razor’s edge, someday I’ll make it mine.
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born.
“Come in,” she said,
“I’ll give you shelter from the storm.”
