“We started doing art pictures before we started doing fashion and don’t really see much difference between the two. We start with a character. Sometimes that could be inspired by an art work or sometimes by a person. You choose the right person for that outfit or the right outfit for that person. It’s about seeing and understanding the message of what you want to photograph and how you want your imagination and your fantasy to be on a piece of paper”
