This blog is dedicated to ladies in glasses. The vast majority of the portraits on this blog feature ladies wearing glasses near their own Rx. I felt that this would give a more natural flavour to the pictures and also a more natural setting for the photo shoots from which the pictures on this blog are selected. Nearly all the glasses featured in this blog are from my own collection.

Nathalie & Kimberley 099
Wide eyed Nathalie and tiny eyed Kimberley posing in identical glasses from the Exclusiv series produced by Rodenstock in the 1980's. I was particulary pleased with the fruits of this series because of the perfect way in which the twins show the different aspect of a face behind positive and negative lenses. The prescriptions in both glasses are some ten diopters different and both models had to cope with a barrier of four to six diopters but they kept producing one fine double portrait after the other. The mellowness in Nathalie's eyes and the crispness in Kimberley's eyes make a very fine contrast indeed. This is what I had in mind after adopting my partner Nel's idea to try a photo shoot with identical twins in identical glasses. Everything in these double portraits is similar except for the illogical tricks played by the opposing prescriptions in the lenses. Hat off for Nathalie and Kimberley!
