PHOTO BOOTH
KATHLEEN FRANCES Kathleen Frances is a Bristolian songwriter who is set to release her debut EP 'Through The Blue' on March 2nd. The artwork and photography for the EP were all created in collaboration with her twin sister Michaela Frances. In the interview below, they speak about what inspired their photography choices, the arduous process behind film photography and their relationship as twins. Can you tell me about your relationship as twins? How close are you to one another? Michaela: I mean we're pretty close. There's a thing isn't there about some twins not being very close out of not wanting to be associated with each other all the time. We have different enough personalities that we don't
ever really clash. Kathleen: Well, we do sometimes but it's not often. I also think because we're not identical twins it is a bit different. I guess, it means we can be really honest with each other about things and that can be really helpful in the creative process as one of us can just say 'I don't like that that's crap' and nobody is offended. I think as well because I don't have that much experience doing photoshoots, I sometimes just feel really uncomfortable in front of the camera. And also there's so many things where I'm like, 'eurgh, I don't like my face like that, cringe, cringe, cringe', whereas I know you know what I like and that's really helpful. M: Even when I develop 18
photos and scan them, I look at them and know instantly whether you're going to like them or not [laughs].
