Billy und Hells are two photographers :
Anke Linz (1965, Nürnberg) and Andreas Oettinger (1963, Munich).
They started to work in the field of fashion photography. They stumbled, more or less by coincidence, on a technique that would define their future works.
They discovered if they combined a black and white silde, made from a color negative, with a colour picture, a beautiful photograph emerged with fantastic effects.
Because of this technique, the colours are reduced but give a intense effect. The result is special and surprising.
Anke Linz, born 1965 in Nürnberg
Andreas Oettinger, born 1963 in Munich
live and work in Berlin, Germany
