   Richeille Formento, a former graphic designer, styles and art directs the pictures, while her husband BJ Formento lights and photographs them.

   Everything begins with BJ's photography, in the frozen instant that will never return; and ends in Richeille's creative direction, in her slow, reflective, patient composition.

   BJ moved to NYC 1999 and assisted Richard Avedon, Mary Ellen Mark, Annie Leibovitz and studied under Eugene Richards and Arnold Newman. Since 2001, he has set out on his own and has shot for numerous magazines and advertising clients as well as continued to mature in his personal work.

   Richeille worked as an art director and designer within the fashion industry, working for a large umbrella company responsible for visually communicating new season looks on all graphic works and brands like Calvin Klein, Diesel, DKNY and various other independent fashion labels.

   Digital artist Yoshimi Ohtani from her very active FB page where she posts lots of art in progress & sketches

   She draws illustrations of girls, expressing the essence of modern culture, such as the compromise between Japanese and Western styles. She presents “goth-loli” fashions, interpreting uniquely Japanese sensibilities such as wabi (passive demenor), sabi (elegant simplicity), kare (classic taste), and iki (traditional mindset) using modern methods.
