Fantastic work, I particularly like the elements of both good and bad depicted in both women…_we are good and bad…_

Great stylising….love the tones and shadow play on the wall….

Which One’s Which? Love this! A sort of yin yang feel. Love the composition with the space and shadows

Christopher Bi..., 3 months ago

i agree with cdwork also the size of the wall space in the shot and texture really makes this image stand out

velveteagle, 3 months ago

The work is fantastic.. Then it leads you to ponder.. What behavior makes you bad.. emmm I think it is telling the men that they will not be able to figure it out anyway.. LOL.. What brain we have flees when we view beauty like this.. Bravo..

Christine Wilson, 3 months ago

Paul Louis Vil..., 3 months ago

Soooooo movie like!
Maybe it’s your sense of styling and framing that give this piece an edge…
The girls look great and the story thats brewing from this image is… raising eyebrows!! :D

COOL RULES ( ; – ))

John Robb, 3 months ago

Good work Paul – it makes me wonder if the title shouldn’t have been “Bad Sister, Naughtier Sister”

H( )( )K STUDIO, 3 months ago

Or what you gotta do to keep your job at RB

All that wall? Okay, I know it’s odd to notice the wall… but… All that wall? Why does that work so powerfully? It shouldn’t. It’s negative space. I know… I’m the only one who noticed the wall, so not only is it NOT distracting, it is ingeniously balancing. All of that stuff going on in the bottom and you can get away with anything at the top. In fact it introduces one of your signature color washes giving the whole thing a fluorescent balance. The color is cool, which reinforces the rocking coolness of the ladies. ZOWIE! You reeled us in again.

Erin Lyall, 3 months ago

I love this.

AllyL, 3 months ago

More like uptight and hangling loose :)

Love how the one sister apears so constrained with that bra and so caught up in an adult world where the other is so relxed and childlike.

A commentary on how being ‘grown up’ can stifle the playfulness?

I like how you leave the viewer to make up their own mind as to which is ‘good’ and which is ‘bad’.

The composition is of your usual superb standard.

Stephen Colquitt, 3 months ago

Nice stylin in this one Paul. Well done to all involved!

Jan Piller, 3 months ago

I agree!! Hats off to all of you (not that I really wear hats) Top notch quality image Paul.

“super” cool shot! Love the eroticism behind this image!

Joanne A. Bradley, 3 months ago

Amazing shot Paul, but then I love all your girlie iimages! Oh to choose, naughty girl or librarian!!!! Mmmmmmmm…

Sorina Williams, 3 months ago

I can’t decide which one is the good sister and which one is the bad… love the wall and the furniture and their colours.

Denzil, 3 months ago

The essence of chic and cool – tension, contrast, a story, great composition – LOVE IT!!!!

LoveMy7Cs, 3 months ago

Hmmmmm.

Anette Tyler, 3 months ago

Brillant shot. Fantstic treatment and composition

Alf Caruana, 3 months ago

steen, 3 months ago

fantastic paul, styling shot…..they would be cool sisters to know .. :)

sallystar, 3 months ago

love this!

Basia McAuley, 3 months ago

I can’t tell which one is which,, they’re both good and bad, depends how you look at it, I think that’s why I like this image so much, it makes me stop and think.. Love the processing as always!

joolz, 3 months ago

Love it Paul. Had to have a laugh as my sister and I are always joking about the “good” and the ‘bad’ sister!

PJ Ryan, 3 months ago

gorgeous. absolutely gorgeous.

they both look naughty to me though ;)

Kofoed, 3 months ago

Wow, a stunning image, Paul. Such beautiful lighting and a very nice crop.
Don’t know, though, I think both of them are looking good!

Cheri McEachin, 3 months ago

Excellent comp!! very different- I love the space at the top..top notch work here..:)

lazart, 3 months ago

nice image !

Franklin Lindsey, 3 months ago

After reading Ted Brynes comments on the Green Wall, I finally caved in to put my 2 cents on this unusual piece, even for Mr. P it is somewhat strange. The models, lingerie, decrepit green paint again draws me in despite my unwillingness to want to look. Paul you’ve done it again, and I feel defeated to have capitulated to this piece of work!

Rhys Jones, 3 months ago

Perfect as always, love the reflection, and I want that couch

Andrew Walker, 3 months ago

Being conjoined twins bound in such an unfortunate position was always a bit of a problem for Paul’s second cousins Prudence and Priscilla. The Vanzella family frequently struggled with the girls and it wasn’t until they achieved their lifelong goal of joining a travelling freakshow that the family opened the album. The girls hated each other, which was quite a problem for them. For one Prudence had a nasty habit of eating pickles and the flatulence they caused resulted in Priscilla frequently passing out. Priscilla frequently upset Prudence whilst out on dates by measuring and commenting on the size of the would be suitors manhood from her crotch eye view! They remained single for years until they met the Marburg twins who had joined the freak show as ‘bigun and littleun’

Fantastic work of art Paul. :-)

Mel Brackstone, 3 months ago

I keep having to say “this is your best yet” because you keep raising the bar with every new upload. Their poses, the shapes they produce, the sheen on their legs arms shoes….the light, the shadows, everything just stunningly produced! The story is special too…..love your models, love your vision.

Mel Brackstone, 3 months ago

LOL at Andrew!

Jeff Burns, 3 months ago

Absolutely awesome love the shadows on the wall this is incredible

sweetscent62, 3 months ago

hahahaha… this is so funny to me Paul.. I remember when I used to watch Gilligan’s Island.. I wanted to be sexy like Ginger… but sweet like Maryanne.. this reminds me of that time.. thanks! Awesome image …Wen x
p.s. I also have a sister ; )

Jason Moses, 3 months ago

To me, there’s not a clear “good” or “bad” here. There’s a mix of revealing/concealing, stiff/relaxed and gazing away/looking straight down the barrel. The symmetry works so well, from the above to the composition, with hair, arms and legs all at just the right angles.

I can’t go without saying that the sisters are stunning.

Rhana Griffin, 3 months ago

Hmmmm…. Moral dualism. An interesting concept portrayed with your usual exceptional insight.

ltruskett, 3 months ago

So funny and clever…...... I love that combination….... I am sure I have a ‘brazzie’ around like that some where…........hahaha. Such professional style and of course gorgeous models…......they help to make your job so much easier I suspect…..... Powerfully good. :o))))

JimFilmer, 3 months ago

LauraHartley, 3 months ago

Doubtlessly, bad sister has on a black bra under that cheery dress. Sinsational. Pin up, indeed!

vincent bruno, 3 months ago

what a great shot and concept…even the lighting has a retro feel to it…perfect all around

SelinaEM, 3 months ago

Love this image so much.

What I like is that they both show elements of bad and good. Which in my opinion pretty much sums up us women.

Clare McClelland, 3 months ago

Yes, this appeals instantly to the duality of my inner woman – it’s the Gemini principle personified – I should know! The wall seems like the blank canvas of imagination that can have anything you like written on it.
Fantastic.

Darren Burdell, 3 months ago

Very stylish, great art direction and attention to detail, love it!

kcranmer, 3 months ago

Paul you rock!! Everytime I come back to your portfolio you once again amaze me…guess I better start raising the bar, lol. Missin’ ya!

t1nyskert, 2 months ago

if you keep on doing work like this i’m gonna explode with jealousy…i love the look of almost total embarrassment on the sisters face…..wonder which one i’d be?

Mark Richards, 2 months ago

very balanced with a nice flow. I love the different focus and relationship each woman is presenting leading the viewer in two different directions, cool!

Lynda Lehmann, 2 months ago

Quite interesting and provocative. Hints at sensuality of course, but the stark background adds interest and tension. A loneliness reminiscent of Hopper. Love the composition!

VenusWrites, 2 months ago

F Magdalene Au..., 22 days ago

This is exceptional. I don’t have to technical words but I know what I like about this photograph. I like how the subjects are at the bottom of the photo and how much of the green wall shows. I also think the gloves are a great touch as well as the extension of the sister’s arms. This is really a nice piece of art.

Ken Boxsell, 18 days ago

A fantastic piece of work Paul
For me there is certainly a hint of the macabre whilst leading to the suggestive element of the duplicity of man.
The construction of a conflict of persona using the dark but prudish behaviour and contrasting it against the vibrant yet flirtatiousness demeanour has certainly engrossed my imagination. However it is the mystique that lies within this fact for the story can never be fully answered whilst ever individual human trait and beliefs remain part of ones own freewill.
Cheers Ken
