Estelle Hanania

 

Photographer Estelle Hanania is a lyrical storyteller, weaving tender and sometimes perplexing plots into her fashion photo series. Her fashion stories develop beyond the confines of a studio or location shoot by integrating still life and landscape images, creating visual rhythm and narrative complexity. 

The Paris-based photographer has a background in graphic design, art direction and fine art. She graduated 
in 2006 from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris and, in the same year, won 
the ‘best photographer’ prize at the highly prestigious Hyeres Festival in Southern France. 
Her photography has been exhibited in several galleries in France and her work, both commissioned 
and personal, has appeared in magazines including Another, Modern Painters, 032c and Capricious.

Benedict Redgrove

BENEDICT REDGROVE sees beauty in utilitarian spaces and structures and is excited by good design and functionality. His meticulously crafted photographs range in scope from vast landscapes to intimate interiors, cars and technology, epic set-ups and close-up still life. Strong, striking and inherently stylish, his work has an uncommonly clean graphic quality, resulting from REDGROVE's subtle experimentations with angles and scale.
