BEFORE PHOTOSHOP

Beauty

Like processing film, let’s expose rather than conceal.

Photographer Peter Lindbergh has always been an inspiration to us. His photographs of supermodels on the beach in plain white shirts, shot in black and white reminds us of the days before filters and Photoshop.

Dare to be raw.

To us, his photography philosophy can be distilled into one word: raw. Now, don’t get us wrong, we love a filter here and there, but a little rawness can be just as interesting or if not more. Photoshop doesn’t always produce the best work, sometimes perfect can be boring. Like developing film, let’s expose rather than conceal.

p.s. this quote…

“My feeling is that for years now it has taken a much too big part in how women are being visually defined today. Heartless retouching should not be the chosen tool to represent women in the beginning of this century.”

Peter Lindbergh

Our beauty philosophy is deeply rooted in our earliest memories as political refugees from Eritrea. Beauty to us is grace and resilience. As twin sisters, we share everything including our love for makeup and in particular eyeliner! We will never forget our teenage years as cashiers in high school saving up enough money to buy our favorite beauty brands.
