Los Angeles-based photographer Susan Swihart is interested in the twin phenomenon. She has begun her long-term project, About Faces, in which she photographs her twin daughters and explores the nuances of their similarities and differences. It reveals enough for us to see the girls' personality without looking into their faces.

Here is what Susan herself says: “Sometimes two people are born as one. They separate, but continue to grow in parallel day after day, centimeter by centimeter. They develop separately and in different ways. They have different dreams and fears. And at the same time, for many, they will always look the same. Be interchangeable. And they will be treated as one.”
