Philippine Chaumont and Agathe Zaerpour are a photography duo formed in 2016. Their work revolves around the question of women’s bodies in public space and the fashion image industry. Having studied graphic design and worked in the publishing world before photography, the duo attaches great importance to the relationship between images and the resulting narrative. Their artistic practice is a response to their commercial work. Through their images, they attempt to explore the issues they encounter while working with brands, and weave links between their personal questioning, their artistic practice and the assignments they receive as fashion photographers. The vocabulary employed plays with the codes of fashion and documentary.
