Brianna Capozzi - Sisters

The new IDEA book is Sisters by Brianna Capozzi. Published in an edition of just 500 copies, this is an intimate, personal (completely excellent) book by one of the world's most in demand photographers. A fashion industry favourite for shooting super strong women such as Miley Cyrus, Pamela Anderson, Dua Lipa and Chloë Sevigny, Brianna side-steps celebrity for Sisters. A documentary project six years in the making, this is a book of sisters and half-sisters and even female twins and their sisters; a personal project photographed in Brianna's personal style.

“Shooting with these sisters felt entirely different than shooting with models. I allowed space for them to make their own aesthetic decisions, sometimes becoming art directors and stylists for themselves and each other, expressing their agency and the kind of brutal honestly only sisters can deliver. I would say, “Ok, who wants to wear this?" Then one sister would say to the other, “Oh Becky, you should wear this, it’s so you” or “ no that colour never looks good on you," boobs flailing around, all comfy with one another.” —Brianna Capozzi

The composition of the photographs was not premeditated. The sisters are presented in minimal to no clothing because Brianna wanted as little from the outside world to fog and undermine these dynamic relationships. It is an attempt to lift the veil and show who they are at the core.
