The Posternaks’ Playfully Abstract Photos Are Sensual, Tactile, And Vibrant

The recent work of Ukrainian twin sisters and photographers Zhenya and Tanya Posternak, who work under the professional name Posternaks, is their most abstract and visceral yet; conveying their established aesthetic with a distinct emphasis on color, line, and texture.
Posternaks have an affinity for composition: creating unique imagery that juxtaposes fashion photography with cropped portraits and architectural frames. Since we last featured their work, the pair have expanded their portfolio with a range of editorial commissions, including shooting the first womenswear collection for Milan-based brand Sunnei. In their work, Posternaks visually explore themes such as female empowerment and the sense of touch. There is a synchronicity to their photographs that is mirrored by their harmonious collaborative approach; such is the nature of working with the person you’ve known since birth.
