    Ilse Moore

    Ilse Moore studied through the University of South Africa and obtained a degree in Visual Arts in 2009. She has been featured in many publications and was apart of the Sasol New Signatures exhibition in 2010.

    “While my underwater photography often involves commercial shoots, my conceptual work speaks of a subconscious denial of reality. I have always been attracted to surreal imagery. I believe that photography as a medium lends a kind of realism to these ‘fantasies’, allowing it to exist in closer relationship to the viewer.”

    Her underwater photography consists of fashion, fine art as well as commercial photography.

    Sarah Silver studied both classical and modern dance from an equally young age, so has always had an appreciation of movement. After completing her first degree in Middle East studies from Vassar College, she found that her true calling was to combine both of her passions: photography and movement. She applied for graduate studies in photography at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. Sarah was chosen to shoot for Surface Magazine’s Avant Guardian issue and this fashion shoot marked the true beginning of Sarah’s professional career as a photographer. Using dancers as models in high fashion, Sarah’s style gelled. Next, Sarah shot her graduate thesis, two fashion stories, using the modern dance group Stephen Petronio Dance in clothing by Prada and Imitation of Christ. These photographs have since appeared in several magazines including PDN, Italian Vogue, Elle and Time Out NY and the New York Times. She is shooting with a medium format digital back.
