Chinese photographer, Gao Rongguo, has produced a series of photographs that portray pairs of identical twins in China. Everyone is over the age 50, so as the viewer, we are able to compare and contrast how time has changed each person.
We always wonder what the effects of nature vs. nurture are. This proves that life experiences can influence the person you become in my ways – not just physically.
“He/she used to have the same face, living in the same family, but their lives changed due to various reasons after growing up,” Rongguo said. “I take these identical twins in their fifties face-to-face. This is a way similar to the way one would look into the mirror.”
