Armando MILANO & Felicitas YANG

Both Felicitas and Armando had culturally displaced upbringings. On the one hand, Felicitas grew up in Paris, in a Chinese-German household, whereas Armando was born into an Italian family that emigrated to Columbus, Ohio. Both took a film class in high school, which lead them to grow a passion for cinema. They met in 2013, while attending the New York Film Academy, from which they graduated in 2016 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in filmmaking. Even though they studied film directing, they had a knack for the technical and often worked together on a large variety of projects, Armando usually as a lighting technician and Felicitas as a camera assistant. 

The latter eventually had to leave the United States and moved to Berlin. Armando remained in Los Angeles. While still working on filmsets they kept in touch. During the pandemic, Felicitas moved back to Paris where she started to focus more on photography, for which she had developed a growing interest following the making of her short-film “Box of Memories” (2019) that married filmmaking techniques with photography. Armando had always been an avid analog photographer, using his father’s old Minolta to this day. He joined Felicitas in France right at the end of the pandemic, where they now collaborate on photography books and portraiture.
