Digital image manipulation is part of everyday life. Bodies are prettified to the point of impossibility, shapes are changed, and illusions are created. The work is of such a high-quality that the manipulations can hardly be unmasked. Excessive proportions, proliferations that would not be possible in real life, overperfection and the extinction of physical and biological laws, reveal the seemingly perfect phenomena as a fake, show that photography has long since renounced its role as an imaging medium of reality and truth.
Frank & Steff have been working as a photographer duo since 2004. The symbiosis of male and female views, initially thought of as an experiment, soon manifested itself as a happy coincidence accompanied by numerous photo shows and acknowledgments.
The moment of irritation, the elaborate but still catchy visual language, which contains not only the free but also the commercial works with all its details and compositions - the fingerprint of the duo - are especially appreciated by collectors of temporary photo art, as well as customers in fashion and advertising.
