The result is a unique proportion and composition study, one that draws viewers into the subject, causes double takes and prompts questions such as “Is that really the same girl?” and “Is it a composite of five different photographs?“ Then, observation kicks in.

The series took Diane seven months to realize, and each image has obviously been carefully thought out, such as - the one of the girls standing in the row boats and almost eerily staring at the camera through their black sunglasses. Yet, there is also a certain, carefree spontaneity depicted, seen in the image of the girls running against the wind, towards the sand dune. Diane says that she "liked the juxtaposition of a bit of strangeness with the warm tones of the shoot," achieved, in part thanks to the bright lighting captured on camera and the harmony of the backdrops. 

It's interesting to see how identicalness is often deceiving. Upon close inspection, each of these girls looks quite different from the other and yet, through the "filters" of both their repetitive outfits and the camera lens, the viewer supposes that they are the same. It causes a bewildering moment of introspection, one that is especially poignant because it seems to come out-of-the-blue. Even this has been orchestrated by the photographer, as Diane says that one of her goals was to "evoke a more profound response in the viewer."

Although Diane didn't intend to provide a commentary on societal pressure, "I'd say this shoot represents the pressure to fit in and not stand out from the crowd," she says. What is for sure is that this photographic series makes us pause and consider our perceptions of uniqueness and individuality.
