Firoz Shaikh relaxes on a massage table in a studio session
Firoz Shaikh lies on a black padded massage table in a dimly lit studio, with a dark backdrop behind him. A second man in dark trunks works over his shoulders and back, and the warm light catches the sheen of oil on the skin. A white towel is draped across the hips, and a small bowl rests on the table nearby. The camera stays close and steady, framing the long lines of the table and the calm, unhurried mood of the scene. Colours are muted blacks, warm skin tones and soft grey, giving the footage a quiet, intimate feel.
