About Ilka & Franz

Ilka & Franz are a German/ Austrian photographer duo based in London (UK). Their work blurs the lines between portraiture and still life and is often humorous with an unexpected twist. While their unmistakable use of colour is vibrant and bold, their conceptual undertones are often subtle and of child-like naivety. Ilka & Franz draw their inspiration from pop culture, kitsch and surrealism as they put a playful spin on the ordinary. The duo work on editorial and commercial commissions in the UK and abroad. 

The dynamic duo have won a string of awards over the years, including prizes in the IPA, PX3, One Eyeland, PDN, Moscow & Tokyo International Foto Awards to name a few.
