This is a slight deviation from what I normally do because it was shot in monochrome, but the lights and shadows excite me. The model was also a joy to work with, plus the looks we got that day were totally worth it!!

The title "Dumah", I got from the Bible and it is an Aramaic word meaning silence. Other contemporary sources (Google. Ha!) describe it as a general term for the angel of silence.

For my use however, I go with the Aramaic meaning. This means that the concept defines the struggles of keeping silent in a world full of adversity and uncertainty. My view is that whatever goes on in our surroundings, we should not bottle-neck ourselves; but rather be free and express yourself.

Expression is the ultimate end.

This was on of my best shoots so far, right from the actual shoot down to editing. Maybe because of the location, the models or the process in general. Some of the edits are a bit crazy though. But whatever it was, I should do it more often...

The models were great to work with and even got to work with a creative director on this one. The rest is just pure fun and enjoyment!
