Billy und Hells is the name of a photographer duo: Anke Linz (Nuremberg, 1965) and Andreas Oettinger (Munich, 1963). They met in 1986, found a shared passion for photography and became partners in work and in life. Inspired by the photographs of Irving Penn and Helmut Newton, the pair began working in fashion photography. They accidentally discovered a technique that would become their hallmark in their later oeuvre. By forgetting to remove a black and white negative from the Wühltisch enlarger, a beautiful Baryta photo was created. Later they discovered that a combination of a black and white slide from a color negative, together with the color photo, produced a beautiful effect. This technique causes the colors to become saturated, but at the same time there is an intensity that they had not achieved with normal photography until then. In 1999, Billy und Hells mainly did advertising photography. They lack the artistic freedom they long for and therefore settle in Berlin in 2000 to make free work. They now exhibit all over the world, including in Tokyo and Berlin. One of the photos 'Nabil' was used in a fashion exhibition about 'The Ideal Man' in the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague. Their portrait 'Sophia' was used in London's National Portrait Gallery for the advertising campaign for the 2007 Photography Portrait Prize exhibition.
