CIRCUMSTANCE

The Work of BJ + Richeille Formento
Written and edited by Rachel Wolfe

Revolver Shoots is the photographic union of husband and wife, BJ and Richeille Formento. Influenced by Hitchcock, Cindy Sherman and Edward Hopper, BJ and Richeille combine cinematic principles with painterly styling in their photographic works.

Born on different sides of the globe these two have fused their work together seamlessly. BJ brought his expertise working with Mary Ellen Mark, Hans Neleman, Annie Leibovitz, Eugene Richards and Arnold Newman. Richeille has a background in the fashion industry as an art director and designer for Calvin Klein, Diesel, DKNY and various independent fashion labels. Their expertise and extensive knowledge is evident in their remarkable commercial and fine art works. 

In addition to the duo's work with Revolver Shoots, BJ and Richeille developed the photography library, Eyecandy Images. Serving both royalty-free and rights-managed clients, the images available are energetic, polished, sexually charged and teeming with stylish witticisms and jaw-dropping inspiration.

Presented here, Circumstance, is a tribute to their personal influences as well as a showcase of the vulnerabilities and strengths in women. Highlighting an ability to forge ahead with a sense of serenity amidst chaos and disaster.
