Photographer
Fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott were both born in 1971 in Turkey and Wales respectively and first met in England in 1994. They decided to become a photography team after working in completely different areas (classical music and graphic design). Their first photos for Dazed & Confused made the cover and they‘re now known for their portraits of sophisticated and powerful women. Meanwhile they contributed to major magazines including such as Italian and American Vogue, W Magazine, Pop Magazine, Numéro and Arena Homme Plus as well as shooting advertising campaigns for top fashion labels such as Louis Vuitton, Missoni, Giorgio Armani, Roberto Cavalli, Fendi, Kenzo and Miu Miu. In addition to that Mert and Marcus created the images for perfume houses such as Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Givenchy and Lacôme and have photographed A-Listers such as Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, Björk, Lindsay Lohan, Scarlett Johansson, Charlotte Rampling, Kylie Minogue and Sophie Ellis-Bextor.
