While other photographers have captured identical twins before, few have created full photo series around one set like Monette & Mady. This photo series follows the two red-heads as they go about their business around Paris. It was shot once London-based Swedish photographer Maja Daniels finally approached the two after watching them from afar for years.

Never married and with no children, Monette & Mady have managed to solidify their twin nature as few truly do (or even desire). They wear the [same clothes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/betterstudio), eat the same foods (in the same portions) and even more in similar ways. Daniels writes, "The [streets of Paris](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color) make the perfect backdrop for such ambiguity to be played out, confusing us with its references to fashion, film and art. It makes the documenting of everyday events somewhat surreal."
