About
My name is Khalaf Silo. I build digital tools and document reality. Based in Forbach, I work with clients in France and internationally.
My path started with code and documentary film. A web developer since 2019, I've worked on projects ranging from analytics platforms to e-commerce engines. Along the way, photography helped me develop an eye — one that seeks light in the in-between. Today I combine both practices under RAFA57 Studio: an approach where technical precision meets visual intuition.

03My philosophy
I believe in tools that last. No over-engineering, no unnecessary dependencies. A site should load fast, be accessible to everyone, and age gracefully. A photo should tell something, even in silence. I apply the same rigor to code and image.
