Schoeller’s award-winning work, both as an art photographer and on assignment for National Geographic and for any number of other prestigious publications, is not hard to place into a general photographic and art-historical context. That work has now expanded into a massive and beautifully realized project dubbed “Identical: Portraits of Twins” and recently on view at ACE Gallery Beverly Hills. As part of their coverage, they published a series of large format portraits of pairs of identical twins, complex and powerful presences, taken by photographer Martin Schoeller. In January, 2012, National Geographic ran a piece called “TWINS: Alike But Not Alike,” that used the August, 2011 Twins Days Festival (held annually in Twinsburg, Ohio) as a launching pad for a discussion of the latest scientific advances in twin studies, including both nature versus nurture issues and the burgeoning developmental field of epigenetics.
