Sisters
“My sister is my favorite model, my sister is my favorite photographer”
Liza (photographer): Quarantine mode changed my working schedule and my clients. Before, I did a lot of photo shoots with people who want to create something cool for fun, people who came for a photo shoot to discover themselves in some way, try something new.
Now it’s different- all my clients do photo shoots in order to keep up their income (bloggers, models, influencers, managers etc.) and I’m happy to be helpful. But this is also why I need to do something for myself.
This is why we do home photo shoots from time to time. We love setting up a home studio, trying new features, and just exploring!
Ira (model, MUAH): Quarantine has changed my life and helped me truly find myself.
Since we were closed for lockdown I moved to my sister’s apartment for 1 month and because of our creative natures we started to do art photoshoots. One day I decided that I wanted to try to film a makeup video and this is where it started.
For now I have TikTok where some videos go viral, because of my creative makeup looks. So one day Lera texted me and said she was really inspired by one of my makeup videos and it would be great to do a photoshoot of me wearing it.
We had already worked as a trio earlier, so there were no doubts that we should do it again together.
Lera (stylist): I was inspired by Ira’s TikTok videos and thought that we should do a photo shoot based on this style plus some more ideas that popped up in my mind a bit later.
I thought about adding some colors and playing with contrast! The last few photos we did wet (I watered Ira’s shirt and hair). It was so fun!
