Justine Darmon was born in Paris in 1973 and discovered her passion for film photography in 1990 when her parents gifted her a Nikon FE and her grandmother passed down her old Rolleiflex. Quickly enchanted by the magic of the darkroom, she dreamed of pursuing photography professionally, but her family humorously encouraged her to follow a different path, saying, “You're not serious when you're 17…”. After completing advanced studies in Social Policy and Society, Justine Darmon embarked on a career in Human Resources, specializing in managing human crises. Behind the masks, she learned to capture authentic emotions, revealing the true nature of individuals. In 2015, she finally decided to pursue her passion fully and dedicated herself entirely to art photography. In less than ten years, her works have been exhibited in various galleries and festivals through remarkable collections such as "Music’Spirits," "Ambivalences," "Le Clown et la Danseuse," "Eclipse," "Cuba, Beyond Colors," "Les Lames de l’Âme," and "Sortir de son ombre." Justine Darmon's work explores a dreamlike universe, rich in symbols and references to collective memory. Inspired by the fairy tales and legends of her childhood, Renaissance and ancient painters, as well as humanist photographers and digital artists, she creates a gateway to her own dreams. Through a subtle interplay of textures, shadows, and lights, Justine Darmon highlights the timeless and mysterious nature of her photographs. She encourages viewers to freely interpret her images, exploring their ambivalence and symbolic richness. Her interest particularly focuses on religious and mystical phenomena as collective reflections of society’s hopes and fears.

American artist and photographer Brooke Shaden spent years delving into the duality of human nature in her work. Born in 1987, Shaden has become one of the most well-known photographers in modern art. She’s recognized by her conceptual images where she puts herself in settings that feel like an imaginary world. After finishing college in 2008, and deciding to explore her passion of storytelling, she began to probe her inner darkness and confront the fears of her intense childhood imagination. Mainly a self-portrait artist, Brooke doesn’t shy away from photographing others as well. Many of her photographs evoke a sense of epiphany in an unfamiliar place. It’s easy to feel connected to her images as they embody personal exploration and encapsulate themes of darkness and light. She aims to show others a quintessential part of themselves that might’ve been lurking in the shadows prior. With this, she considers herself leaning more toward discovery than creation. Shaden studied film all throughout college in Pennsylvania near to where she grew up. She was merely 25 years old when she became a part of PhotoVogue Italia’s group exhibition “101 Best Photos” in 2012. Over the years, she has amassed 18 conceptual awards for her work and has been a part of 80+ group and solo exhibitions all over America and Europe, with her very first exhibition in 2009.
