Inspired by the power traditionally attributed to image, Hunter & Gatti wanted their works to perpetuate the wildfire velocity of fashion and the fast cycle of this industry which voraciously consumes any of the images they have created. In response, H&G started re-working celebrity portraits: taking recognizable faces that idealize the work, to give them a new origin, exploring concepts in perception, change, and identity, and playing with the tension between the material and the photography. Change is the only way to keep their pictures alive. All is flux, nothing stays still.

Hunter and Gatti is a creative duo, based in New York with an office in Barcelona too and formed by Cristian Hunter and Martin Gatti. They have known each other for more than a decade working together as art directors for some of the most prestigious advertising agencies creating successful interactive online campaigns for fashion brands such as Burberry and Diesel. After creating their own advertising agency dedicated exclusively to the fashion industry, they decided to give the jump to the world of photography, managing to consolidate a new step in their career by working with companies such as Hugo Boss, Kenneth Cole, Massimo Dutti, Carolina Herrera or Guess by Marciano and magazines like Vogue, Esquire, Marie-claire or Flaunt.
