Sisters, published by Hoxton Mini Press, examines one of the most intimate and complicated forms of family life: the relationship between sisters. Over a two-year period, photographer Sophie Harris-Taylor photographed and interviewed more than 100 sets of sisters, building a portrait of sisterhood that is collective in scope but attentive to individual histories. The book’s subject is not a fixed ideal of familial closeness; it is a field of affection, rivalry, memory, irritation, loss and enduring attachment.

Portraits are accompanied by quotations and texts from the women photographed, allowing their own accounts to sit alongside the images. This pairing gives the project a documentary and conversational character: the photographs register presence and resemblance, while the words open onto the histories and tensions that a portrait alone cannot disclose. Trust, jealousy, memory, grief, petulance and unconditional love emerge not as separate categories but as overlapping conditions within a long relationship.

Harris-Taylor’s use of natural light and a gentle photographic manner is central to the book’s distinctiveness. The approach avoids turning intimacy into spectacle, instead making room for hesitation, familiarity and the subtle negotiations of being seen by both a photographer and a sister. For collectors, Sisters deserves attention as a sustained photographic study rather than a sequence of isolated family portraits. Its breadth of encounters, the combination of image and first-person testimony, and its focus on an everyday bond rarely treated with such extended attention give the volume a durable documentary and human significance. Issued in English as a hardcover with ISBN 9781910566282, it remains a focused example of contemporary portraiture shaped by collaboration and listening.
