Inez and Vinoodh have a seemingly endless capacity to explore new visual territories.  In the early 1990s they were among the first practitioners to master the possibilities of digital-imaging technology as a creative and meaningful medium.  They developed a signature style of visual seduction paired with provocative narratives, which infused new ideas into photography.

Since the early 1990s, van Lamsweerde and Matadin have published their work in magazines such as Self Service, Vogue, and W Magazine, as well as having created principal campaigns for houses including Balenciaga, Calvin Klein, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Valentino and Yohji Yamamoto as well as directed acclaimed music videos for artists such as Bjork, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, and Paul McCartney.  

In addition to their more than four decade tenure in fashion and music, Inez and Vinoodh have exhibited internationally, including in 2025, Joy in 3 Parts - Presented by Apple and curated by Kathy Ryan in New York, London and Shanghai, Inez and Vinoodh: High-Low Transformers in 2019 at Palazzo Reale - Milan, Body Performance at the Helmut Newton Foundation, Berlin in 2019, eponymous shows at Gagosian Gallery in both Paris and Beverly Hills in 2013, and their 25 year overview exhibition Pretty Much Everything: 1985 - 2010 which began its world tour at the FOAM, Amsterdam with stops in Sao Paulo, Dallas and Stockholm, in 2005 The Now People, Part II: Life on Earth at Matthew Marks Gallery, New York, a solo exhibition at the Groninger Museum in 2000 and group shows Alterita e Identita at the Venice Biennale in 1995 and l’ hiver d’amour at Musee d’Art moderne in Paris in 1994. 

The Spring of 2026 will see the opening of Can Love Be A Photograph – 40 Years of Inez and Vinoodh at the Kunstmuseum den Haag - a thematically comprehensive exhibition of their work from the past four decades.

Inez and Vinoodh are co-represented globally by DoBeDo Represents and Kim Pollock, VLM Studio.
