SB - How did your power duo start up?

H&G - We started working as art directors in an agency in Barcelona, working with clients like Burberry, Diesel etc. That was a long time ago, and we are together because our creative point of views works in a great synergy.

SB - Why did you decide to become photographers?

H&G - After working as art directors, we decided to create our own agency. When you work hard on a concept, you have what you are looking for very clear in your mind and finally, if you don’t achieve what you want, you feel that you are losing something. For us, the photography was essential and without controlling that, we do not achieve what we want, that’s why we decided to jump into the photography, to really achieve what we have in mind.

SB - Which city do you prefer to work?

H&G - Every project is different. It’s not the city, it’s what you will do in that city. But of course, cities like New York or Los Angeles is where we shoot more, really versatile cities, but we remember great projects in cities like Tokyo, Barcelona and London.

SB - It seems like you love stepping out of your comfort zone to be creative, what motivates you to do so?

H&G - As we said, we started working in an advertising agency, working as art directors, after being website designers. We are very used to change, which is always natural in a creative path, but we love the challenges, love to learn, grow, and experiment. For us, it is part of the creative process because change never stops.

SB - What kind of women inspire you the most?

H&G - Definitely a strong woman with personality, with character.
