MI-ZO
Photographer duo, Zoren Gold and Minori, Mi-Zo, have started their collaboration in 2000. Their shared curiosity of mixing each of their different skills took them on a journey of discovering the new venue of photographic image making. Their approach to the photography is not only about capturing the moment of physical reality, but it is to unveil their freedom of individual alternative reality. The fascination of what is possible im image making had lead them to experiment with improvising different mediums as well as keeping the spontaneity to unlocking their fantasy.
