Fashion & Art Photography: Inez & Vinoodh





I have been a fan of this Dutch duo for a while now. They found each other and I found them. It all started with my love for Fashion & Art photography. They are well known for pushing photography out of its boundaries. For their out of the box way of projecting the normal everyday fashion into something completely different and brain teasing. Their main focus is on how different images and their works lived together in their minds. They have done outstanding work for the likes of Bjorn, Vivien Westwood, V&R, Balenciaga, Stella McCartney, Chanel, Dior, Narciso Rodriguez, Valentino, etc. They have been in all the top notch fashion magazines, any big name you can think of, they're right in there.

One of my favorite projects they worked on were the 3 photo series they produced:

Final Fantasy: a mix between Adult features and adolescent bodies, inspired by the hype surrounding the skinny Supermodel Kate Moss.
Thank You Thigh-master: merging life size doll-women with human models, creating a sophisticated interpretation lay between glamour and horror.
The Forest: men with feminine body parts.

One of the latest projects they have done on exploring the boundaries of reality, by placing stock photo behind the models, creating a gap between the "real" models and the obviously faked backgrounds, such as in Go Cindy, Go Cindy from 1995 is the Nicki Minaj January cover shoot for V Magazine

I could go on and on and on about their work but do check their work out when you get a nano.

Like I've said before, I hear Photography as clear a I see Music. Art is a gift to the world!
