Holli Turner - Weekly Artist Post

Kata Sedlak and Lottie Davies







The artist could have been taking these photographs at a handholding speed 1/60 of a second or faster for those images that may have motion in them.  There is a shallow depth of field present in some so I would say F4 or larger to let in more light.



The concept of these photographs was to bring together different photographers to make photographs of “sameness”.  All of the twins shown are identical however some look extremely different.  It is the photographer’s job to make us curious and what to know why that is and want to know where they are.  I feel that each of the photographers that contributed to this series did just that. 



Being a twin myself I clicked on these images for that reason initially however there is more to these photographs than just that.  Within these images there is an absolutely beautiful execution of light and color.  Though these people obviously look the same there is a different story with each one.  I enjoyed viewing all the viewpoints from the different artists.  The scenery in which the photographs were taken was a nice touch as well.  They definitely don’t follow the point and shoot method the photographers seemed to me to survey the scene and make the beautiful capture of these twins special.
