Icelandic Twin Girls Erna & Hrefna In Eerie Photos By Ariko Inaoka
Every year, Erna and Hrefna, two beautiful twin girls growing up in Iceland, greet a very special visitor from Japan – Ariko Inaoka. This professional photographer has been visiting them every summer since 2009 to take amazing pictures of their progress through adolescence and their special relationship with each other.
Inaoka met the girls in 2006 when they were 6. They had come to the casting for a portrait photography photoshoot that Inaoka was preparing. She then met with them in 2009 to begin her project, which she hopes to continue until they’re 16.
“I often hear that identical twin telepathy. This is true with Erna and Hrefna” Inaoka claims. “They are always together. They almost never fight each other. Spending time with them, I feel such comfort in their companionship, but at the same time, I feel strange because I have never seen such a powerful connection between any two human beings. They say to me, ‘We dream the same dreams sometimes.’ .”

“They are always together.” Their connection, Inaoka said, is almost telepathic
“When they talk, one begins a sentence, the other picks up midway, and the first one finishes it – all very naturally”
“Also, they tell me about having the same dreams”
They practice ballet five days per week and get “almost the same grades”
“Their connection is beautiful and peaceful. I also believe photography can capture more than the eye can see”

I think they are lovely and beautiful girls who are lucky to be twins! There is nothing at all creepy! I wish them the best in love and life
That pic where they're looking outside the window...that's some True Detective s**t right there.
Beautiful art photography captures beauty of Iceland and growing up there.
start to find a kinda boring playing with people's emotions through little children :) and yeah mark ryden's works..
I guess I missed something. This is the way of twins. There are stories of twins separated at birth when they meet they're the same way.
Close siblings who enjoy the attention. Telepathy? Same dreams? No. They give people what they want. Individuality will emerge very soon.
I'm curious what THEY thing of these photos and which one is THEIR favortie.
Very cool - most were not creepy or eerie, but still all were interesting...
Amazing. I knew twin girls who always slept together as teenagers and dreamed the same dreams. It seemed like one spirit in two bodies.
I love this mysterious stuff. They're so so pretty, please, someone tell them that & that their connection is the most beautiful thing ever.
Omg, how powerful! You have photographed the unknown element between spirituality and life as we know it on earth. Brilliant, brilliant!
"There is no spoon". That's what I thought of the moment I saw these pics. Damn these photographs capture it all
childhood usually means smiles playing, joy and having fun. Not one pic. Of a happy childhood. Rehabsand meds. =their future
Most of the photo settings are creepy. They do not look like identical twins at all. Different noses .
Beautiful siblings, friends always. Unique and well pit together photos!
Lovely girls. My Icelandic grandmother was a twin and had a strong bond with her sister too.
They look mystical.. I love iceland! Kudos for the amazing photography.
I agree, photography can capture more than the eye can see. You made it done.
the series of photographs are absolutely beautiful. I love this work.
.... same dreams - for their future or in their sleep??? But a very contrastfull photosessesion!
wow its like watching scences from a creepy but awesome movie, damn I wish I had a twin!!!
I think they are lovely, beautiful girls, and I wish them the best in their lives. They're very lucky! There's nothing creepy!
I think they are fraternal or siblings but Not identical twins. Noses are different. Different heights.
