You'll be seeing double with this beautiful two-sided fashion photography by the talented Switzerland-born photographer Adrian Portmann. She is better known for shooting commercial brands like Pucci, Seven and Levi's.
These bilateral photo spreads are interesting because you get to see the contrast of the photos as they stand side by side. Some of the photographs concentrate on halves, using the top half of the body in one photo and the bottom half in other. Other photographs concentrate on smaller areas in one photo and zoom out into the face on the other. Adrian Portmann isn't afraid to cross boundaries, and she even touches on controversial taboo topics like lip augmentation; in another shot, she juxtaposes an expecting mother with other single women.
