Martin traveled to the annual “Twins Days Festival” in Twinsburg, Ohio, to shoot pairs of identical twins for National Geographic Magazine. By using his signature Close-Up style, the portraits allow the viewer to explore the physical similarities between the pairs, complementing the story, which covered their psychological similarities.

Really amazing stories in these faces. Would like to read them. Even though “identical” each one was unique as well. Photographed like this one can really see their differences. Thank you for sharing.
I like how the photographer allowed the glasses to stay on. So many people shy away from this b/c they don’t know how to handle it technically.
Amazing idea! Lovely shots!
Identical, yet so different. Its not just their face, but an entire personality that can be read. Thanks for sharing.
