Celebrating 40 years of collaboration between Inez & Vinoodh, one of the most influential photography duos of our time, this book offers a unique comprehensive retrospective of their groundbreaking career.

For forty years, Inez van lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin have redefined the boundaries of photography. This iconic duo, hailed world-wide for their fearless fusion of art, fashion, and portraiture, has created a body of work that is as visually seductive as it is intellectually disruptive. To this day, Inez & Vinoodh continue to collaborate with leading designers and luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton, Chloé, and Chanel, while also producing striking covers and editorials for acclaimed publications including Vogue, Rolling Stone, W Magazine, and Time.

Acting as both mirror and magnifying glass, their photography not only draws from popular culture but also critiques it, uncovering complex layers of beauty, resistance, and desire. As they mark four decades of creative partnership, this stunning volume asks the central question behind their vision: can love truly be captured in a photograph?

Author Biography

Inez & Vinoodh became known in the early 1990s for uncanny experiments with digital techniques and can rightly be called pioneers in the field of digital image manipulation. The interplay between elegance and horror in their early series, such as Thank you Thighmaster (1993), Final Fantasy (1993), and their work for cutting-edge fashion magazines such as The Face, caught the attention of both the fashion and art world. Since then, the duo's career has steadily expanded, and they are one of the most in-demand photographer duos in the world.

Reviews

"A new book celebrating four decades of fashion photography duo Inez and Vinoodh features celebrity portraits, surrealist visions and a meditation on love itself...hailed for their fusion of art, fashion and portraiture, [they] have created a body of work that is as visually seductive as it is intellectually disruptive." -- "The Guardian, US"
"....delectable...Audaciously designed - with a translucent jacket, booklet and enclosed poster - and packed with a heap of interesting texts, [the book] does a fantastic job surveying the duo's endlessly experimental work across art and fashion. For all their fantastic, reality-spinning visions, Inez & Vinoodh always manage to retain a very human way of telling stories. At its heart, the book is a statement on their creative partnership and a manifestation of their love - indeed reminding us of the emphatic answer to the title's question."-- "Dazed "
