Who are we?

‘Renard and Rose’ is French for ‘Fox and Rose’ – also known as Florence Fox and Rosalind Jana. Family friends since Rosalind was born (there is a two year age gap between them), they spent their childhood summers making puppet theatres, swimming in the cold welsh sea and indulging in some rather fabulous dress up session. The shiny lipsticks, nylon nighties and high heels three sizes too big were a precursor for their various fashion and photography escapades. Their creative partnership began when Flo was fifteen and Roz thirteen; the former snapping photos of the latter in some rather magnificent glittery leggings. Now the shoots are two-way, with the roles of photographer and model inhabited by both women to create a truly collaborative set of photos. This blog has been set up to document their endeavors as they run through waves, trek up hills and explore fields of flowers. For an extended description of their friendship see here.
