Since Virginia Del Giudice opened her first studio in 1995, her photography has been stamped with a mix of simple, minimalist style and a deep appreciation for the use of natural light. Such principles have turned her into a respected regular contributor to major magazines around the world, including Vogue, AD, Elle Deco, and Interiors.

As well as publishing editorials often accompanied by her own text for books and magazines, Virginia dedicates her time to personal work, using plate cameras and old copying systems.

Virginia defines herself as a passionate object specialist, and shot part of her collection for a series of photographs entitled 'Vanitas ', due to be shown at the Centro Cultural Recoleta, Buenos Aires, from May 23rd to June 16th.

Inspired by the concept of 'total design', architect Ernesto Goransky proposes his new vision for hospitality culture - The Buenos Aires Design Ce Hotel.

Situated in front of a green space designed by the architect Carlos Thays, and in the spectacular presence of the Pizurno Palace, the Design Ce Hotel is just a few minutes from some of the most attractive places in Buenos Aires, one of the cultural headquarters of Latin America.

The hotel's 28 suites, ground-floor Design Café and basement Design Club all reveal innovative design, service and technology standards. 

It has been a season full of cars for Red Creek, with both Honda and VW shooting in Argentina. Honda (Japan) and VW (Germany) entrusted Red Creek with the production of their global print and commercial campaigns.

The Honda shoot took place in the mean-streets of Buenos Aires, where over the course of three days Red Creek Productions assembled a large traffic jam in which even the Honda engines felt the effects of pollution. The City of Buenos Aires provided full collaboration with street closures and permits.

The VW campaign demanded complete secrecy and was shot by Michel de Vries in the salt flats of Purmamarca, north-west Argentina. Check out the stunning images and the beautiful new Sedan.
