In recent years, the duo chose to follow their hearts and focus on art photography. A logical progression, with the emphasis still on glamour, eroticism and capturing female beauty. But the premise is that the work should stand out because of their unique ideas, and creative and technical talent what comes together. Hans and Hans’ work is reminiscent of the colourful and bright images from magazines. Their years of experience within commercial photography are therefore clearly visible in their art photography. In every photo, you will find surprising and playful elements in the form of special props or an unusual setting, with a tongue-in-cheek slant, sometimes even provocative, from the artists to the fashion industry and contemporary society. The Guys themselves describe their art as ‘After Pop Art’. The Guys With The Same Name’s work hangs on the walls of various collectors around the world.
