The work of Giel Domen and Kenneth Van de Velde brings a carefully crafted, conceptual approach to fashion photography, balancing a modern perspective with profound inspirations. While their style remains uniquely their own, it reminds me of the legacy left by masters like Mert Alas, Steven Meisel, and Miles Aldridge. In their imagery, I find a vibrant connection to a specific narrative, where color and sensuality define the scene.

They integrate the sensuality and glamour of Mert Alas, the narrative depth of Steven Meisel, and the surreal color contrasts of Miles Aldridge into a cohesive, original style. Their attention to detail, from conceptual frameworks to technical execution, gives their work both emotional resonance and visual impact.

The duo is absolutely remarkable at capturing the essence of the model, making her appear eternal in every shoot. The ability to bring a photo to life is not something everyone possesses. It’s not a technical skill, but rather an essence—a gift that a photographer must have to be considered so.

Domen and Van de Velde’s photography captivates with its vibrant colors and emotional depth. Their work effectively explores the relationship between fashion and identity, inviting viewers to engage with the imagery on a personal level. From my point of view, it is evident that they are continually evolving and refining their unique vision. I believe we will hear more about this duo as they establish their presence in the fashion industry, and their commitment to growth and innovation will likely resonate with audiences and contribute meaningfully to contemporary fashion photography.
