Bella and Gigi, Kendall and Kylie...meet 6- and 8-year-old Kyra and Evie, the red-headed sisters from South Wales with star quality. A few months ago, we featured a series by photographer Tom Johnson and stylist Charlotte James that captured a beautiful cast of people (including the two above) from ex-mining community Merthyr Tydfil, in South Wales, styled in high-fashion pieces. Here, the duo has lifted the curtain even further with an extended shoot for Pylot magazine showcasing these adorable red-headed siblings.
Sisters are fascinating to look at: noticing who picks up what habit and how, understanding how different they are in character from their facial expressions, and noticing how opposite their personalities tend to be. One is sensible and the other wild; one loud and the other quiet; one into their appearance and the other nonplussed. But there's something particularly intriguing about Kyra and Eva: they're wonderfully photogenic and bring an intensity, freedom, and energy that photographers, stylists, and casting directors usually spend years trying to find.
The magic that these pictures deliver is unrivaled. Click through to see for yourself.
