SARA + INES
Collaborating as creative directors since 2020, Sara Bastai and Inés Maestre work on collaborative projects that combine photography and digital painting. Inspired by cinematic influences, surrealism and hyperreality, their concepts typically revolve around storytelling, frequently capturing simultaneously the dreamy and the beauty of mundanity. In their collaborations, Sara takes the lead in photography, while Inés works her magic during post-production and retouching, seamlessly blending the realms of photography and digital painting.
Their collective portfolio includes contributions to Mainline:RUS/Fr.CA/DE, Gruppe Magazine, King Kong Magazine, Octi, and more.
