The girls are natural, they are confident and there is a great atmosphere between the two as they are very close. The concept was simple, have the two of them dress alike and pose together. It was the posing part however that was quite tricky.

As someone who works primarily as a portrait photographer with prior modelling experience, I was able to pose the girls however it was combining the two of them posing that proved difficult. The posing had to be done in a tasteful way as the girls are only 17 years old and to make sure that both of them look natural and comfortable.

We decided to do the shoot on a Monday as we all were free at that time and we had another girl from work who wants to be a makeup artist do the girls makeup. You can see Kate's work Here.

Kate is a very talented creative who also enjoys photography and she did fantastic work on the twins as natural makeup can be hard to create if not done right. We scouted a park location that I occasionally shoot in and Kate did the girls make up on a quiet bench that we found away from people.

It was a sunny day and while Kate was doing the makeup on each of the twins, I took both of them aside to explain how to pose and what to expect when we start shooting as neither of them have any experience. They were tense at first but when put together both suddenly lit up and started adding different ideas and poses to try out.
