James and John are twin brothers I met in Cape Town, and I found though they are and wanted to photograph their vulnerability as two young men and the tenderness of brotherhood - it was a glimpse into the gentle, nurturing side of the masculine. I was inspired to share this artwork after it was awarded best portrait in the 2023 LensCulture portrait competition. It was also selected to be part of the Image Nation Paris Exhibition in May 2023 at the Galerie Joseph Le Palais, Paris. It made its debut at the Swiss Photo Museum in Zurich, Photobastei in December 2022. The artwork comes to you in a tube as a Giclée pigment print on Hahnemühle Fine Art Baryta 325gsm archival paper. It a heavy weight fine art paper with a subtle gloss, ideal for prints with deep blacks and colour photographs that are rich and high in contrast.

Romy Maxime, South African photographer, videographer and visual artist is known for her enigmatic portraits and fine art prints. She is based between Cape Town, South Africa and Zurich, Switzerland. Mixing both digital and analogue techniques, her signature style is defined by cinematic black and white portraits of people. Her work explores themes of vulnerability, joy and beauty, the female gaze, and Africa. Romy is also a videographer and director - her most recent short film "Spirit of Kibera", filmed in Kenya on the art of dance received critical acclaim and was premiered on Document Journal earlier this year. Poetry, literature from the likes of Mary Oliver, Pablo Neruda, Bertolt Brecht and personal imprints from a life of travel are Romy's key influences. After completing a degree in finance at the Wharton School in Philadelphia, she furthered careers in journalism and advertising, moving between Berlin and Cape Town. Her art book on women and the female gaze "Librations" can be seen under the project sections. She works both as an artist selling prints and NFTs, as well as on commissions (in colour) for fashion, look-books, editorials, portraits, lifestyle, advertising and beauty photography. Romy's portraits have been featured in VOGUE, Tatler Magazine, Rolling Stone Magazine, The Mail & Guardian, Vice Magazine among others and her client list includes Hauser & Wirth, Swisscom, Swiss Life, Triumph, Innervisions Music, Ry X, Traffic Magazine and Bo & Luca. Her award winning portraits have been showcased by Lens Culture, Life Framer, and the C/O Berlin Museum (Allure Award). She was winner of the Lensculture Portrait Award 2023 for her portrait of John and James, entitled "Brothers, South Africa". It is available as an original print, in two sizes, on her artwork listings. Her most recent solo exhibition: a short film and limited edition print auction took place at Hauser & Wirth in London in collaboration with NGO Ubunifu Lamu, in Kenya in May 2022. She had a solo exhibition of her work with Ubunifu in January 2023 at the Peponi Hotel in Lamu, Kenya.
