Thank you VOGUE! We are happy and very honoured to be selected for BEST OF PHOTOVOGUE! Studio Bamako by Feli & Pepita #photography Over the last few decades, photography has changed. Since it became digital, and especially since everyone uses smartphones, people take pictures every day. It used to be that you had to go to a photo studio to get a picture of yourself and your family. Pictures were printed, not just displayed. And because there were so few of them, people would look at the same pictures for years. A few years ago Feli & Pepita travelled through southern Africa. To cross the border from the Kingdom of Swaziland into Mozambique, they had to take passport photographs for their visas. So they went to an old-fashioned photo studio to have their portraits taken. It was like stepping into a forgotten world. The camera used by the friendly photographer looked like one of the models you might have seen in a photography museum. Feli & Pepita had to pose in front of a curtain and after the pictures were taken, they had to wait an hour for them to be developed. At home they found similar pictures in Feli‘s family album. His father is from Algeria, North Africa, and there are only a few pictures he has kept, most of them taken in a similar setting. Recently Feli & Pepita visited the exhibitions in Paris of Malick Sidibé and Seydou Keïta, two photo- graphers from Mali, Africa. Sidibé and Keïta are famous for their portrait photography in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, the years following Mali‘s independence. Both were very impressed by the beautiful and expressive images and by the simple sets used in the studios of the photographers. Their photographs reminded them of their photo session in Swaziland. The idea for the story was born. They called it ‚Studio Bamako‘ because Bamako is the capital of Mali, and the children in the story loved to dress up and be styled like a modern version of their grandparents for a photo album shoot.
