Life Photographers

Most things in life are moments of pleasure and a lifetime of embarrassment. Photography is a moment of embarrassment and a lifetime of pleasure.

“We have spent the last few years of our photographic careers exploring the movement of life and its expressive possibilities. Our inspiration has always been the ability of photography to stop time and reveal what cannot be seen with the naked eye. Our interest in photography is not to capture an image that we see or even have in our minds, but to explore the possibilities of life’s moments that we can only begin to imagine. knows, or suspects, that it really happened. We want our images to give substance, material and space that we cannot portray in the moments of life before or after the click of the camera, but we invite the viewer to think about this question.

The supposed theme of our photographs may be Life, but the underlying theme is Time. In our photographs, time stops, a fraction of a second becomes eternity, and an ephemeral moment is fixed like a sculpture.

When we started taking photos in the late 80s, our dream was to become photojournalists for National Geographic.

We now prefer to work outside the constraints of life, collaborating with people in improvised, non-recurring, often high-risk moments. These moments do not come from a continuum, but exist only as individual moments: they are unique photographic events. We see the collaboration between people and ourselves, as well as between the two mediums, people and photography. There is a dynamic tension between life and photography. We exploit photography’s ability to fragment time and break space, translating 360 degrees into a two-dimensional image and depicting moments below the threshold of perception.
