About
We are Emma and Mathilde, twin sisters based between Lausanne and Zurich with a shared love for Switzerland.
Who is Twin–Peaks?
-
We grew up exploring the quieter side of Switzerland, far from the usual tourist routes.
From an early age, family road trips led us through alpine valleys, small villages, and hidden back roads in search of lesser-known places. These journeys shaped the way we experience travel today: with curiosity, attention to detail, and a deep appreciation for landscapes.
As creatives, we naturally began turning these experiences into a form of expression. Through photography and storytelling, we started documenting the places we encountered along the way, first privately in notebooks and photo albums, then publicly on social media under the name @frihead.
Over time, we realized that our community was looking for a different perspective on Switzerland: one that felt more human, immersive, and authentic. Bringing together our shared vision and complementary strengths, we created Twin–Peaks Studio, a content creation studio dedicated to telling visual stories rooted in landscapes, people, and the quiet details that make a place memorable.
-
As twin sisters, we approach storytelling through two complementary perspectives: Mathilde through images, Emma through words.
Our respective backgrounds (ECAL (Lausanne University of Art and Design) for Mathilde and literature studies at the University of Lausanne for Emma) continue to shape the way we observe, interpret, and narrate the world around us. One works through composition and light, the other through rhythm and language, creating a constant dialogue between image and text.
Together, we explore Switzerland with a shared sensitivity to atmosphere, detail, and place. Through Twin–Peaks, we aim to create stories that feel both visually striking and deeply rooted in the realities of the landscapes and communities we encounter.
-
We believe in a Switzerland that is alive, sensitive, and deeply connected to its people.
Through our work, we seek to highlight places beyond the obvious, smaller destinations, quiet valleys, and lesser-known regions whose identity deserves to be seen and shared. We are drawn to landscapes shaped not only by nature, but also by seasons, traditions, craftsmanship, architecture and everyday life.
Our approach embraces slowness and attention to detail. Rather than portraying the mountains through performance or conquest, we aim to offer a softer and more sensitive perspective on natural spaces: one rooted in experience, atmosphere, and presence.
Twin–Peaks is an invitation to rediscover Switzerland: through movement and stillness, heritage and contemporary life, adventure and contemplation.
With image and text, our goal is to offer a vision of Switzerland that feels more grounded, nuanced, and human.
