Classic Paintlike Photography

The Soon International Sisters Series Seems Inspired by Edgar Degas

There is a romantic feeling about the Soon International Sisters photo spread that is entirely classical in nature. As though inspired by paintings from an era long ago, specifically French artist Edgar Degas' stunning work, each image looks as though it was actually shot in the past.

Shot by photographer David Hamilton, the Soon International Sisters photo spread follows the lives of sister ballerinas as they lounge around the house, possibly even after a dance practice. Using his soft-focus staple, Hamilton is able to truly influence the ambiance of each scene.

Starring Lidia and Olesya, the Soon International Sisters photo spread recently appeared in the magazine's spring 2011 issue. It was styled by Clemence Cahu.
