V For Violin

V For Violin


The title refers to the V shaped of Avi's pointed chin. I discovered that the hard thing to shoot of someone playing the violin is that they will all seem to be sleeping.

Good Old Friend

Good Old Friend


Avi posing with Felix's cello. Of course his pose looks to suggest that he is really familiar with the cello.


The cello is typically made from wood, although other materials such as carbon fibre or aluminum may be used. A traditional cello has a spruce top, with maple for the back, sides, and neck. Other woods, such as poplar or willow, are sometimes used for the back and sides. Less expensive cellos frequently have tops and backs made of laminated wood.

The top and back are traditionally hand-carved, though less expensive cellos are often machine-produced. The sides, or ribs, are made by heating the wood and bending it around forms. The cello body has a wide top bout, narrow middle formed by two C-bouts, and wide bottom bout, with the bridge and sound holes just below the middle.

The top and back of the cello has decorative border inlay known as purfling.

Cello manufacturer Luis & Clark constructs cellos from carbon fiber. Carbon fiber cellos are particularly suitable for outdoor playing because of the strength of the material and its resistance to humidity and temperature fluctuations.

Tuning the Concentration

Tuning the Concentration


The guitar dude is playing to his heart content. I love the way how the light falls onto the guitar and the mystery that the picture hide.



An acoustic guitar is one not dependent on an external device to be heard but uses a soundboard which is a wooden piece mounted on the front of the guitar's body. The acoustic guitar is quieter than other instruments commonly found in bands and orchestras so when playing within such groups it is often externally amplified. Many acoustic guitars available today feature a variety of pickups which enable the player to amplify and modify the raw guitar sound.

Violen Artist

Violen Artist


Our male model, Avi, who is also our current sponsorship manager. The title was deliberately misspelled due to a time when he picked up a cello and start to swing it as if it was a golf stick (of course in no way destructing it).
