Franck Tremblay
Franck Tremblay aims to highlight the culinary heritage by telling the story of products through people, and the story of people with their products. By showing what may seem as banal as foodstuffs, beauty emerges. And we suddenly find ourselves in front of the still lifes of the Flemish painters, bathed in their particular intimate light… Or in a realist painting by Edward Hopper, whose vivid palette warms up melancholy scenes. Raymond Depardon’s humanity inspires and accompanies him… Through his very human images, shaped by his deeply benevolent gaze, Franck takes us on a poetic journey that moves us and a philosophical quest that we did not expect.

Ilka & Franz
Ilka & Franz are a photo & director duo based in London (UK). Their work blurs the lines between disciplines as they apply their aesthetic and humour to still life, portraiture and film.

Laurent Moynat
His credo is the ‘non-photo’, the unconventional photo, a photo that is not frozen but conveys emotions or some unexpected discrepancy. He shoots without setting down his camera in order to obtain a ‘true’ photo, marked by the total absence of formatting and formal aestheticism. In 2006, his desire to translate his feelings more fully led him to explore human stories and real life. His sensitive, intuitive look then blossomed in reportage and in culinary photography, two worlds bringing together what animates him: encounters, the poetry of daily life and the unvarnished product.
Laurent Ponce

Marlou Pulles

Formed as an art historian at the University of Utrecht, she has turned her fascination for the Old Master painters of the 17th century into still-life photography. With her art-photography she wants to capture stillness, elegance and pure forms, wrapped in compositions that evoke wondering and radiate slowness. By stimulating the viewer trough the play of color, shape and a minimum of visual language, she draws attention to looking at everyday objects with different eyes. Always with a tough of modernity, without loosing the heritage of the still-life paintings of the 17th century. She chooses objects of which our hectic society does not always considers how beautiful they can be. The natural shapes, such as fruit and vegetables come to life. Time has just stopped, to enjoy the simple beauty of objects even more.

Sander Martens
Dutch freelance photographer Sander Martens (1973, autodidact) is specialized in black and white fine art and portrait photography. His work focuses on the balance between order and chaos, and how it changes as a function of time. “I’m eager to keep control at all times, both as a photographer, a scientist, and as a person. But without a place for chaos there would be no room for spontaneity and discovery. I therefore open the door to time, luck, and coincidence by incorporating cyanotypes, monotypes, or physical alterations to my work, thus creating additional layers and depth.” Having studied psychology and artificial intelligence, Martens obtained his PhD degree in experimental psychology in 2001, and he is currently an Assistant Professor in cognitive neuroscience at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. In both his photography and scientific research, he strives to go beyond the visible.
