Based in London, architectural photography duo FRENCH+TYE
is a partnership with a complementary aesthetic that leaves
room for self-criticism. Thanks to a background in design, the
studio has an understanding of spaces and visual narratives
that involve everything from interiors to the built environment.
Interest from publications in Europe and America has led to
commissions from The Architects’ Journal, Blueprint, i-D and
Dezeen. French+Tye’s pictures of Faye Toogood’s multi-material
Carhartt store can be found on page 118.Specializing in health, wellbeing and beauty, JESSICA SMITH
is a writer and a creative researcher at The Future Laboratory,
which she joined in 2014 after completing a master’s in trend
forecasting at the Polimoda Institute of Design and Marketing
in Florence, Italy. She regularly speaks at external events
such as the Global Wellness Summit in Miami and London’s
Balance Festival. She has worked with Nike, Nikon, Royal
Salute and QIC and has been featured as an expert by The
Sunday Times, The Independent, BW Confidential, Elle, Stylist
and Condé Nast Traveller. For this issue’s Frame Lab, Smith
researched the future of healthcare.
Born in Nancy, France, ANTOINE DOYEN dropped out of
university, where he was studying sociology, and flew to West
Africa to check out filmmaking in that part of the world. The
trip produced the series of images that sparked him to pursue
a career in photography. After Metro commissioned him to
shoot the Cannes Film Festival, he found himself engaged in
portrait photography and enrolled in a photojournalism class
at the EMI-CFD in Paris. Among his clients are Le Monde,
L'Express, Le Parisien Magazine and The Wall Street Journal.
Doyen is currently documenting tractor-pulling competitions
and the lives of Catholic priests. His portrait of the duo
behind Studio Briand Berthereau is on page 56. Documentary and editorial photographer ANNA HUIX
lives and works in two cities: Barcelona and London.
She earned a BFA at Parsons School of Design in New
York City. Previous commissions include those for The
New York Times, The Sunday Times, Telegraph Magazine
and Financial Times. Huix’s personal projects and portraits
have appeared in The Independent, Time and El País. The
results of her shoot with Sebastian Cox are on page 54.
‘Throughout the shoot, I kept telling
Sebastian Cox how much he looked like his
designs and vice versa – organic, linked
to nature and so earthy. I love when designs
mimic the look of their creator’ANNA HUIX, PHOTOGRAPHER12 CONTRIBUTORS
