They first sharpened their photographic skills on a large-format Sinar camera in their Milan apartment transformed in a photo studio.
The process was inherently slow, calm, and intimate. 
“Sometimes we could spend the whole day photographing intensely,” the pair say. “There was little contact with the outside world.”

Their ethereal images share an affinity with the paintings of Giorgio Morandi and Domenico Gnoli, but they also injected the sensibility of fashion photographers such as Paolo Roversi, Sarah Moon and Javier Vallhonrat.

The duo manages to bring still-life to life. As the photographer Paolo Roversi writes : "their work all falls under the same category: that of "portraits."
