Sean + Seng: Fashion Photography with a Hint of Film Noir
Look up photography duo Sean + Seng and likely the first thing you will find is how they got their start in the fashion industry by doing commissions for Vivienne Westwood before they had even graduated college—a rather impressive feat. As the story goes, the pair were studying at the London College of Fashion and frequenting Westwood’s World’s End shop in London where they met Senior Brand Manager Murray Blewett. Blewett then invited them to the studio and introduced them to Vivienne Westwood herself. The duo worked with her for years, even shooting Westwood’s F/W 2006-07 ad campaign—starring models Tasha Tilberg and Oliver Cheshire—as they were just graduating college.
They describe their unique style as simple, portrait-based fashion images and cite a long and varied list of influences including David Lynch, street kids, transvestites, nature, school girls and of course, Vivienne Westwood. They are regular contributors to 032c, Dazed & Confused, Vogue Japan, Arena Homme+, POP, Interview Germany, Interview Russia and Numéro.
