Vermeer Mac, Ain’t no woman like the one I’ve got: Formento + Formento are known for their romantic and stylish photographs that explore themes of love, loss, longing and the burden of memory. Using staged scenes and desaturated colours, the eerie sensuality of their style reveals a fascination with fiction and reality, and with mood and texture, where a sense of place figures prominently.
