Photographic Speciality/Style:
Conceptual and creative photography
Short Bio:
It’s about US TWO, ALWAYS: the photographer and retoucher (Marc-André), and the model, creative director, costume designer and stylist (Carolyn).
Our romantic and artistic alliance began more than three years ago, when we chose to work exclusively together in photography, combining our respective talents to create the creative duo ArtMood Visualz.
Through the hundreds of projects we have carried out together so far, we have produced a very diverse and complex body of work, taking advantage of our multiple strengths and versatility, both technically and artistically. We explore all kinds of photographic styles, ideas, and concepts, pushing our creativity further and further, and avoiding as much as possible ease, clichés, and redundancy.
We have been published several times, we have won gratifying prizes, and been exhibited a few times as well, in many countries, and we are more than grateful for all of it.
You describe yourself as a “strong couple in life, inseparable artists in photography”. Tell us a bit about how you got together and started to create images.
We had started in photography, each on our own, a few years before meeting
