Vincent Boon – the portrait photographer

Vincent is a photographer whose work I admire. He knows exactly how to make people look more or less personal, real, or (un)touchable. He is especially known for his characteristic portrait photography with distinctive colors, lighting and style with which he unveils the beauty and uniqueness of everyone who gets in front of his camera.

As a passionate and technically high-skilled photographer, Vincent is always on the lookout for new creative angles. In his advertising photography Vincent likes to create a different sense of reality that invites the viewer to search for the real and the unreal in his photographs. Vincent works for many publications, has served an impressive amount of commercial clients and his photographs have appeared in dozens of beautiful campaigns.

Michaël Ferron – the artist

Michaël is a true creative artist, a craftsman, a philosopher, a connector, the kindest heart and most of all a virtuoso photographer. He is too versatile to fit any box, but he very well fits the box you are holding.

It is never just about the image in his work, it is about an idea. He has been very early to photography journalism; the type of images that, in one glance, tell a news item of a thousand words. In the past 30 years, he has, next to journalism and his free work done some impressive work where photography was embedded in the infrastructure of buildings of e.g. multinationals and hospitals to unify a message and the building’s function. His photos stand out for their fantasy, humor and unconventional use of light and color.
