Herring & Herring's technicolour Kurv magazine shoot reflects their restless brilliance

Date
6 August 2012

Here’s a recipe for aesthetic success – take a Russian (Dimitri Scheblanov) and a Dane (Jesper Carlsen) put them in New York City, sit back and set your mouth/eyes to wow. Going under the studio name Herring & Herring the pair create sublime scenes full of retina-indelible imagery and suggestive possibility. Broken down into Men, Women and Advertising, their portfolio of fashion photography and art direction is an endless cascade of excitement with an uncommon percentage of slamming hotties. They say their aim is to: “continuously oust the boundaries of storytelling through an ever-expanding visual vernacular” and we’d say they’re right on message, as exemplified in this Janine Antoni-style shoot for Kurv magazine. Extra marks too for the most wonderfully camp photo on their homepage.
