Carin Verbruggen discovered her passion for photography at the age of 14 and studied at the KABK in The Hague. After graduating, she worked as an assistant, but soon found herself behind the camera. In 1993 she moved to Amsterdam to build her career, after which she worked for Elle, Marie Claire, Citroën, and Canon, among others.
Ferry Drenthem Soesman began his career as a lighting and sound technician at the Nederlands DansTheater but eventually chose his own creative path.
Since 1996, Carin and Ferry (C&F) have formed a creative duo. They combine their backgrounds in photography, concept, graphic design, and digital art. Their work is published worldwide and applied in fashion and lifestyle magazines, campaigns, album covers, and exhibitions. They have worked for brands and artists such as Porsche, Vogue, Coca-Cola, Candy Dulfer, Oscar & the Wolf, Sevdalisa, and Usher.
In recent years, they have increasingly focused on personal work, in which beauty and vulnerability come together.
