Morning, this is Khalid Silvers, a talented photograper. His work has been quite inspiring and beautiful. Here's more about him and what he does.

I'm a filmmaker/photographer. I've always had an out there imagination, I was the kid in the back of the class drawing pictures and day dreaming. Creativity runs in my family. My grandma is an amazing painter. My mom does crafts like jewelry, necklaces wrists bands etc.and my sister is a writer. So i guess I have a predisposition towards creating. Some of my biggest artistic influences are american, chinese, korean films and aso japanese anime.

1. What got you into photography and film making?

When I was little I used movies as a form of escapism from daily life. I remember watching fight club in high school and having it be one of the most impactful movies on me artistically. It was one of the first movies that really shaped my view of what film making as a medium is really capable of in terms of changing people's perspectives. The ability for a film to impart philosophical teachings to people or get them to feel an intense roller coaster of emotions made me fall in love with the craft. During that time I did a lot of skateboarding and I would film and edit all my friends skating. Ended up getting really good at developing an eye for cinematography. So when I was bored i would go home and make mini short films that i would act in. I just loved crafting worlds and story lines that could induce some sort of feeling in other people when they watched it. A few years later I started taking it more serious and structuring a business around it.

2. How do you pull through a long day of work?

I just keep the end creative goal in mind and that usually helps me get through a hard day.

3. What would you call the way you work with models?

I'm pretty chill when it comes to working with models. I explain my creative concepts and the direction i'm going for.

Majority of the time I'm super collaborative and don't mind taking on new ideas or letting the model change things but sometimes there will be specific things I need to stay the same and I'm always clear about that with the model.

4. How do you go about making models feel comfortable?

There's nothing I do specifically, I guess it depends on the model and their demeanor. Every situation is different. I just always approach in an open way while explaining my creative vision and things work out.

5. Is there any part of this industry that you don't exactly enjoy?

I don't really enjoy networking when it comes to the photography community, I don't mind it as much in the filmmaking community but I've seen so much unnecessary drama in the photog community it just seems safer to stay away. I've been invited multiple times to meetups or galleries and I've just never been interested. I've always liked to do my own thing with my friends, just me and them creating stuff.

6. What type of photographers do you feel models should look out for?

Photographers to look out for would be pushy ones. If a photographer is pushing you to do something you're not comfortable with then I wouldn't work with them. Or ones with huge egos.

7. Was there a time you felt uncomfortable with what a model wanted you to do, or anyone in particular?

The only uncomfortable moments I've had has been dealing with models being condescending or attempting to treat me like I don't know what i'm doing. It's a pet peeve. If I detect any issues I normally just confront it and if it continues I won't work with them again.

8. How do you go about making the model experience more comfortable while with you?

Communication is key! Before even meeting up with the model I go over the concept and what I want to do so they have the idea before even meeting. Once I meet up with them I go over it again in detail and see if their comfortable with everything. I let em know to tell me if there's something their not comfortable doing.

Thank you so much for taking time out to read today. Make sure you follow amd check out more of his work here:

You may have figured out by now that I’m a tad obsessed with TWIN PEAKS. I’m very excited to see it return to Showtime more than 25 years after the ABC phenomenon was cancelled. Its return is an improbable event, foretold like a Nostrodamus prediction in the narrative of the show itself. And whether or not Season 3 is an accessible success — or goes over the top and off the rails in equally predictable Lynchian fashion — I’m happy to be around to see it happen.

I’ve always been especially mesmerized by the black-and-white, behind-the-scenes shots of the cast and crew taken by cast member Richard Beymer, who played the crafty Benjamin Horne on the show. Lynch encouraged Beymer to document the last few days of filming the show after it had been canceled and the regular set photographer had departed the production.

The still-photograp results — a priceless lot of black-and-white images exposed by Beymer’s Olympus camera — reveal an unseen side of the people and the project. The chemistry of the cast and crew, alongside some trippy sets and creative castings of actors giant and diminutive, come through with a certain intimacy and magnitude that a non-cast member likely could not have captured.

I especially enjoy the close-up images of select actors — Kyle MacLachlan, Sheryl Lee, Ray Wise, Frank Silva, and especially Michael J. Anderson, aka “The Man From Another Place” — wearing opaque contact lenses over their eyes. Seriously spooky stuff.

Enjoy these amazing shots as we all enjoy the triumphant return of TWIN PEAKS for its third season starting Sunday, May 21 on Showtime.

For more TWIN PEAKS, read my take on working with select stars of the show on indie flicks in the ’90s HERE — plus watch those infamous, kooky TWIN PEAKS Japanese coffee commercials HERE.
