Guy Nechmad Stern's Lens on Sisterhood: A Visual Journey
It was a super hot day and we all met on a huge rooftop with a beautiful view of Tel Aviv. Taking pictures of all the models was kind of super easy and natural. I felt comfortable with them since they were all my friends, new and old, and they felt comfortable posing half naked. What was important to me was to capture the freedom of swimwear and the friendship that is at the core of the brand. We were all having fun creating the images and poses, feeling sexy and confident underneath the israeli summer sky.

As gay and queer people, we get to expand the concept of family and create different variations of love, inwards and outwards, sisterhoods and brotherhood, mothers and daddies, alternative families, and friendships are at the core of the queer agenda.
