Sarah J. and Sally A. Edwards
British twins, they work like this: Sarah J Edwards takes the photographs, and the Art Direction is by Sally A. Edwards. Sarah and Sally started BLAG, a fanzine while they were at art school in the 90’s using a DIY approach:
Saturday job pay, fake id, a camera, typewriter, access to a payphone, one hour photoshop and after asking nicely—unofficially, an art college photocopier. BLAG was secretly born as a Xerox’d ‘zine, heavily inspired by deluxe glossy golden era style magazines. Mixing humorous interviews. Sally and Sarah grew the ‘zine to an international glossy using job wages, ambition and determination.
The twins have been responsible for championing culture in the form of musicians, actors and artists ahead of the curve, from Questlove, The Neptunes, J. Dilla and OutKast to Adrien Brody, James McAvoy and Cillian Murphy to Queens of The Stone Age, The Raconteurs and Amy Winehouse, more recently ATARASHII GAKKO!, Daniel Arsham and JAWNY. This year they have released a few incredible book compilations, and started a podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-sarah-and-sally-show/id1682346405
