“Bruna and Jaqueline” Nadia Bedzhanova´s intimate potraits of a young generation

Nadia Bedzhanova is a filmmaker from Moscow currently based in NYC, where she makes films and takes photographs focused on the universality of youth culture around the world. We have already featured her great short film Wasteland, shot on locations of Paris, Moscow and New York, and premiered a music video she made for Cologne. And next up is a story that is part of Bedzhanova’s Diary project, a series of intimate portraits and nudes, featuring young people from different countries with different background. This particular story portrays beautiful twin sisters Bruna and Jaqueline from Muse Models, who were born in Brazil and moved to New York a few years ago. The images sparkle off in such a beautiful way the sort of closeness only twins can have as well as some cool Dumbo, Brooklyn vibe, where the pictures were taken.  “I fall in love with my subjects and through the lens I try to build this insecure connection with the delicate intimacy of a particular moment. No matter if it’s a girl or a boy, I find a piece of myself in every character,” tells us Nadia Bedzhanova about her personal project. Photo assistant is Leo Skvirskiy.
