Brazilian Graphic Artist based in London

I'm a multidisciplinary designer and co-founder of Horror Vacui Studio. A creative design studio & consultancy specializing in brand expression and visual identity within fashion, luxury and lifestyle.

Renate Ariadne is a Dutch fashion photographer with an autonomous approach. Highly inspired by Magical Realism, she strives to create images that read in a way similar to our dreams. After finishing her Bachelor in Photography at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague in 2016 she moved to London, where she is currently based. Photo credit: Laila Mubarak

Louisa is the founder of Luminous Books in East London, an artist curated bookshop specializing in second hand fiction, philosophy, art and curiosities. Luminous also stocks a range of artists’ books, limited run zines and hosts regular literary events, combining music, films and readings alongside pop up projects throughout the city and two Luminous collections at the ICA Bookshop SW1 and Andor Bureau E8. Louisa studied Fine Art Sculpture at Brighton University before moving to London working in both new and antiquarian bookshops including Foyles and as Book Buyer for the ICA Bookshop. Luminous is a specialized bookshop full of personal preoccupations, a love of the object of the book, printed matter and of visual thinking.

I was born in the mid 1980's and grow up in London. From always having a fascination with mechanical objects and relentlessly playing with lego as a child becoming a still life photographer seemed like a natural progression. There is something enormously rewarding about creating exactly whats in your head. I try and make my images on first glance look completely perfect but on closer inspection its revealed there are many imperfections, if you look closer at the 'Wrapping Paper Series' you can see all the joins and creases. I think this makes it look and feel like a photograph and not CGI.
