Formento + Formento es una pareja de creativos. BJ y Richeille son marido y mujer y también fotógrafo y directora de arte, que producen increíbles escenas fotográficas. Su elegancia y la composición aluden un mundo cinematográfico de épocas pasadas con asombrosos vestuarios, maquillaje, peinado, modelos muy adecuadas y escenografías que ambientan totalmente la serie fotográfica. El manejo de la luz, un reto tan delicado de conquistar, es todo un logro. Muy probablemente si la luz fuera más intensa, el significado y la percepción de las obras sería muy distinto. Los trabajos de F & F han sido galardonados por marcas como Luden y Colgate. Han realizado campañas de responsabilidad social referente al SIDA en mujeres y el apoyo a la vida en Japón.
