27 Powerful Portraits Of London’s Identical Twins By Peter Zelewski
Photographer Peter Zelewski has spent the last couple of years exploring the special world of identical twins, questioning not only the incredible bond between them, but also what makes them different from each other as their unique personalities shine through.
Peter has a passion for street portraiture, and chooses to capture his subjects outdoors in natural light. He captures identical twins from different ages, backgrounds and gender, all found in the diverse and cosmopolitan city of London, where Detroit-born Peter has lived since the 1980’s.
“When I first started the project, it was without a doubt the visual attraction which I found most interesting when taking portraits of twins,” Peter told Huck. “But, as the series progressed, it was the subtle differences that became equally interesting.”
While the twins are deliberately dressed similarly, even affecting similar poses to highlight their togetherness, Peter manages to capture their individuality too, in the subtle differences in expression and mood that they display. “One example is 15-year-old brothers Duke and Joe. Although they are identical twins they couldn’t be more different, both in their physical appearance and personalities. By stripping down the background and photographing the boys in plain t-shirts, I was able to let their different personalities shine through.”
To capture so much in one frame, on top of the stunning aesthetic quality of the photos themselves, is an impressive feat indeed. Peter is exhibiting some of his portraits in an exhibition at the Hoxton Hotel Gallery in Shoreditch, London. For more info, visit thehoxton.com.

7 Before & After Pics Showing How Paris Has Changed In 100+ Years
We’ve all seen pictures of Paris. The “City of Love” is one of the most recognizable places on earth due to its iconic architecture. The famous Eiffel Tower standing high above the city, the wonderful bridges built above the river Seine, and the Gothic cathedral of Notre Dame.
But would you recognize the Paris of the year 1900? These “Before and After” pictures prove that Paris was once even more beautiful than today!
More info: re.photos
Tour Eiffel and Globe Céleste (1900 & 2017)
Next to the Eiffel Tower, the “Globe Céleste” was one of the main attractions in Paris. It was a monumental heavenly globe of 45 meters in diameter, in which visitors could sit in a chair, while panoramas of the solar system were passed over. The ball was carried by 4 pillars, between which stairs and elevators allowed the visitors the ascent.
In the “Marerama”, the building with the four corner towers to the left, visitors were simulated to be on the deck of a ship with a panorama of the large Mediterranean ports.
The exhibition pavilions located directly on the shore on the left were dedicated to navigation, trade and navigation.

View on Seine from Pont des Invalides (1900 & 2017)
On the left side of the image one can see the foreign pavilions, among which (from left to right): the American pavilion, the Austrian pavilion, Bosnia-Herzegovina’s pavilion, the Hungarian pavilion, the British pavilion, the Belgian pavilion, the Norwegian pavilion, the German pavilion, the Spanish pavilion, and the Monegasque pavilion.
On the other side of the river, the two minaret-like towers of the Trocadéro are also visible, as well as the Pavilion de la ville de Paris (Pavilion of the city of Paris), which is the building standing on the right side of the image.

Palais des Nations (1900 & 2017)
The “Rue des nations” (Foreign Nations street) was located on the left bank of the Seine river, between the Eiffel Tower and the Esplanade des Invalides.
It housed most of the foreign pavilions at the Fair (some were also located in the Trocadéro gardens, on the other side of the river, and in front of the Eiffel Tower).
The buildings on that image are (from left to right): the Ottoman pavilion, United States’ pavilion, the Austrian pavilion, Bosnia-Herzegovina’s pavilion, the Hungarian pavilion, the British pavilion, the Belgian pavilion, the Norvegian pavilion, the German pavilion, the Spanish pavilion and the monegasque pavilion. Both the Eiffel Tower and the Trocadéro palace are visible in the background of the picture.

View on Seine from Pont de l’Alma (1900 & 2017)
The “Vieux Paris” was a selection of temporary buildings erected solely for the World Fair and designed to give the visitor an idea of what the city would have looked like in the Middle Ages.
The buildings to be seen in the picture were part of the Renaissance quarter. Very striking is the tall building with the two towers (“Le Grand Châtelet”), whose style dates back to the time of Louis XII. (1462-1515).
As only survivor of the world exhibition of 1900 remains the pedestrian bridge “Passerelle Debilly”.

Eiffel Tower and Jardins du Trocadéro (1900 & 2017)
In the foreground one can see the water basin of the Jardins du Trocadéro, in the center left and right the houses of Algeria, which were part of the colonial exhibition.
Behind is the Pont du Iéna, which connects the Jardins du Trocadéro with the Champ de Mars.
Behind one can see, from left to right, the dome of the Invalides, the Eiffel Tower, the Palais de l’Electricité, with a monumental water tower, flanked by the two chimneys of the engine room, and finally the Ferris wheel (“Grande roue”), to the right.
The world fair was attended by over 48 million people.

Esplanade des Invalides (1900 & 2017)
Pont Alexandre III was named after the Czar of Russia and symbolized the Franco-Russian friendship. With a width of 40 m, it was the largest bridge in Paris during the 19th century.
Impressive are not only the splendid ornaments, but also the high technical performance: it spans the Seine in a single arch of 107 m, without forming a curve which would hinder the perspective of the Invalides.
Behind it lies the Esplanade des Invalides, the forecourt to the Hôtel des Invalides. At the occasion of the world exhibition, it was lined with impressive exhibition palaces dedicated to the manufactory, the arts and the industry.
Before: Brown University Library / After: Nicolai Wolpert
View on Seine from Pont d’Iéna (1900 & 2017)
The building on the right side was a pavilion dedicated to trade and navigation. Behind it, one can see the “pavillon du Creusot” (the round-shaped building next to the bridge).
Le Creusot is a French town famous for its metallurgy, and therefore the pavilion housed many exhibits and artifacts on the topic.

Woman and Child Fall From Broken Fire Escape
In 1975, 19-year-old Diana Bryant and her two-year-old goddaughter Tiare Jones fell from a broken fire escape during an apartment house fire in Boston, Massachusetts.
The heat had forced them into the furthest corner of the fire escape. A firefighter was on a ladder nearby and asked for Bryant to hand him the child. When she attempted to do this, the fire escape gave way.
Bryant broke Jone’s fall, saving the child, but she died later that night from her injuries. This picture prompted officials in Boston and other cities around the country to rewrite its fire escape safety laws.
The journalist who took the photo wrote, “I was shooting pictures as they were falling - then I turned away. It dawned on me what was happening and I didn’t want to see them hit the ground. I can still remember turning around and shaking.” (Source)
“Naked Faces” by Photographer Dylan Hamm
Vancouver-based photographer Dylan Hamm attempts to outwardly capture the inner workings of people’s minds by taking two sets of portraits — one with the person wearing clothes and the other standing completely naked.
Shot passport style, the focus becomes the subconscious facial movements each subject makes as he/she shifts through varying degrees of comfort and confidence. Check out more images from “Naked Faces” below.
