Derek and Quentin, twins from Indiana who live in the woods: Robin de Puy’s best photograph
“If you didn’t know their story, you could look at this picture and think they are maybe runners or cyclists. Their skin is white where it’s been covered by T-shirts but their necks and forearms are tanned, and the colour of their skin and hair is echoed by the orange flowers in the background. Then you see the tattoos – Quentin, on the left, has a little star under his eye. They’re also unconsciously mirroring one another in the way they’re holding their hands. There’s so much going on in this picture that it’s a little confusing. But because of that, you keep staring, and that, for me, is a way to break something open – people who see this photograph are curious and always want to know more about these boys.
