Zachy and Gamal Sherif (Twins) 1985

"Zachy and Gamal Sherif (Twins)" is a black and white photograph taken by Peter Hujar in 1985. The photograph features two twin brothers, Zachy and Gamal Sherif, posed intimately together, their hands intertwined and their bodies close. This powerful image, a classic example of Hujar's portraiture, captures the complex emotions of love, intimacy, and vulnerability between the twins. Hujar's work often explored themes of identity, sexuality, and the human condition, using photography as a means of exploring the complexities of human relationships.
