THE DUO
Aude Monier and Thierry Van Biesen. Two photographers with one aim: to find the right image for your project.
OUR STORY
When we met, we each headed photography for a startup. We enjoyed working together so much that we decided to become a duo behind the camera.
Working alongside communications teams taught us to listen to a brief, respect an intention and understand the constraints faced by the people commissioning images.
We also like to take a step sideways: it can make a portrait more personal, a reportage more meaningful and an image more useful to your message.
Serious photographers who don't take themselves too seriously.
THE HUMAN TOUCH
No photographic ambush: Aude takes the time to make each person an active participant in their portrait.
She guides people towards an expression and posture that feel like them while serving the image's purpose. Conversations can take time; that is often where trust begins.
She draws, makes a mean carrot cake and banana bread, and speaks French, English and German.
THE CREATIVE EYE
A Belgian-Lebanese photographer, Thierry comes from fashion, advertising and portraiture.
On a corporate production, he looks for the right frame, light and subtle twist that gives an image its strength. He also likes solving technical problems on set, especially when the light refuses to cooperate.
A former mathematics teacher, he now explores promptography and creative AI tools. He speaks French, English and Arabic, and enjoys absurd wordplay.
BEYOND THE IMAGE
Aude and Thierry discuss how they photograph people at work: understanding what they want to express, putting them at ease and creating an image that feels true to them.
The full conversation lasts eight minutes. Take a little time to get to know us.
WE START BY LISTENING
A specific need, a constraint, or simply
an idea to explore. That's part of our work too.
