Q&A
Give us some background on this project.
We were asked to take some portraits of John Waters at the Baltimore Art Museum.
Any cheeky moments during this project that you'd be willing to share?
John came to the set wearing Vans sneakers that he cut himself so you could see his socks, and he said "it depends on the socks you're wearing everyday to complete the look".
Shed some light on how you got involved in photography.
Gus: I studied fine arts and photography then started working as a unit Photographer.
Lo: After my career in business and management, I started working in the fashion industry with a fashion designer who was a photographer as well. I then completed photography courses while I was working as a photo and video producer.
G+L: "Life takes you to different disciplines if your eyes are open."
What made you decide to become a duo, and when was this?
We met while working and, after six years, we became a real couple. This is why we decided to become a photography duo. We support and respect each other. Our balance is based on the duality of the female and masculine vision; two hearts and two minds that are present in every single project.
Where do you draw your inspiration from?
We love collage and hand craft.
You experiment with moving image. Describe the importance of this in relation to your photographic work.
A moving image allows us to work with sound. We love working with rhythm and music, that's why we entered into motion experience.
What’s it like being on set with you?
Being calm and enjoying every second on set. You can see this in the final images.
Do you prefer a large or small team on set?
Both. We're Spanish, so we love people. You always learn from people regardless if it's small crew or a large one.
Describe your ideal project.
When we have creative freedom, like in some of our editorial work.
Social media for artists… Give us your thoughts.
It's a great platform that changes the photography world.
Do you have any suggestions to budding artists?
Experiment as much as you can to find out what you like, be constant, and always ask yourself "what's next?".
Why do you think it's important for outtakes to be featured?
It's a great way to see the process of the photoshoot. The best pictures aren't always the chosen ones, so you can make your own selection.
What’s next for you?
We're working on CGI combined with our beauty work.
Share a quote you live by.
Always look forward and don't worry too much about what happened in the past
