Luigi & Iango (Luigi Murenu and Iango Henzi) are an Italo-Swiss fashion photography duo. Since starting to work together they have photographed more than 300 covers for various international editions of Vogue Magazine, and other leading magazines such as i-D, W, Vanity Fair, Chaos, and Dust. Luigi and Iango’s work has been presented in various art publications, exhibition catalogs, and exhibitions in Fine Arts museums around the world, most notably at the Brooklyn Museum, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the Kunsthal Rotterdam, the Hypo-Kunsthalle in Munich, the Musée des arts décoratifs in Paris and at the France Pavilion for the Universal Exhibition 2020 in Dubai, among others. They have worked with AMFAR and various charity organizations since 2018 and helped to raise more than one million dollars by auctioning their Art prints.

Often playing with the codes of popular culture, those of masculinity, feminity and genders, they transgress the rules of photography in their work, offering a new perspective and an open vision of society. The strength of characters is also at the center of their work: Kate Moss or Yoshito Ohno, Cate Blanchett or Mikhail Baryshnikov, photography is a means to fulfill the need to discover the soul of personalities as numerous as they are diverse, and offers different possibilities in this regard. In recent years, they explored an array of subjects, from nudes, to Japanese sumo wrestlers and geishas, pop legends, performing artists and dancers, creating portraits and instant classic images for magazines and advertising. “Entering Luigi & Iango’s working and living space is to enter an entirely different world, where everything is possible and unexpected things happen. It’s a world of creativity without limits. » explained contemporary artist Marina Abramović.

The spirit of Luigi & Iango’s work does not stem from one director, performer, or artist, the two photographers are in search of something deeper than beauty: their own truth
